- Log in to your cPanel dashboard
- Go to Email Accounts and create an email (e.g. noreply@yourdomain.com)
- Click "Connect Devices" or "Set Up Mail Client" next to the email account
- Copy the Outgoing Server (SMTP) settings shown there
- The SMTP Host is usually:
mail.yourdomain.com or your server hostname
