NOTE: "smtpout.secureserver.net"
is an SMTP relay server. In order to use this server to
send emails, you must first activate SMTP relay on your
email account. To do this, log in to your Account Manager
and go to your Manager Email Accounts page to set up SMTP
relay. If you do not have SMTP relay set up and your Internet
Service Provider (ISP) allows it, you can use the outgoing
mail server for your Internet Service Provider. Contact
your Internet Service Provider to get this setting.
