SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is an industry-standard for sending emails. Proper SMTP configuration helps increase email deliverability by using authentication.
Popular email clients like Gmail, Yahoo, Office 365, and Zoho constantly battle email spammers. One of the things they look at is if an email originates from the location it claims to be originating from.
If the proper authentication isnβt there, emails either go in the SPAM folder or, worst, donβt get delivered.
