Again it's similar to POP and IMAP.
However the port numbers are unfamiliar --
port 25 is now discouraged, although it still works.

Unlike for POP and IMAP you often have to dig through "Advanced"
panels to make all of the correct settings.

Good software will generally work with port 587, so try that first.
Microsoft software will need port 465. If you choose port 465 with
software that uses STARTTLS rather than TLS-on-connect it will hang!

Make sure you say "this server requires a secure connection"
if you don't you may encounter some of the problems I was just
talking about.
