Explanation:
You need to set smart host setting to use the ISP mail server. A smart host server helps you in delivering all your mail. IT processes bounce-backs, retries and general mail delivery. Due to the processor-intensive nature of the mail delivery system with millions of spam messages, a server can get overwhelmed processing mails. It doesn’t have enough time to do normal web serving. To address this issue, you should use smart host on your ISP mail server to manage the mail delivery and the related tasks.
