If email transport is SMTP how do you fill in system configuration options:
Site Domain:
Site Domain is the domain name of your site to be used to generate email addresses. So if you want stuff to appear to come from xyz.com then set it to that, if you want it to come from wingeast.com then make it that.
SMTP Host:
The SMTP host is the same as the SMTP setting in outlook, i.e. it should be mail.xyz.com
What if "PHP default":
PHP default requires that you set the SMTP host and username in your php.ini file and it doesn't support authentication (i.e. you can't supply a username/password). If you need authentication you will need to use SMTP email. The URL is dependent upon what URL you are using to view the site. If you use maxwell to get to your site then do so and it will all work. You shouldn't use localhost for anything other than initial testing.
