Even if the GetMail module is not enabled or used, PageGate can still send outbound SMTP messages. The GetMail module is generally only ever used to receive incoming SMTP messages into the program. Unlike the other protocols, however, the SMTP protocol does require you to configure local settings that regulate how the protocol functions.
