Code:
dnl# Uncomment the line below to send outgoing mail through an external server:
dnl#define(`SMART_HOST',`out.tedata.net.eg')
This is what you need to change. The "Smart Host" should be the SMTP server of your provider.

I uncommented the SMART HOST line and wrote my provider's SMTP, and did not work too, but after searching i found that my provider's SMTP requires authentication, where in the configurations should i supply the user and password !!
