What is SMTP and why does Freehold CMS need it?

Think of SMTP as the site's outgoing mail service

Configure a real sender address, host, port, encryption method and credentials supplied by your mail provider. Send a test message before relying on account verification or password recovery.

If messages reach spam, inspect sender reputation, SPF, DKIM and DMARC as well as the message itself.
