The same server that Outlook connects to. Do you have an internal server or an external server (i.e., one provided by your ISP or perhaps your domain name hosting service)? If it's internal is it a POP server, or MS Exchange, or ... ?

One relatively easy way to figure this out is to Google "MX Lookup".  Go to one of those sites and enter the name of your domain, e.g. "somecompany.com".  The MX lookup page will return the name and/or IP of the SMTP server for the domain.  The MX lookup retrieves DNS information for the domain that is used to route email between servers.

I should probably qualify my statement since it's too late to edit it:  The MX lookup will return the mail server(s) for the domain, which may or may not be SMTP server(s).  Most often this method has worked well for me, though.

The SMTP VIs do not use Outlook. They talk directly to the SMTP server. The accounts are created at the server, not in Outlook. When using Outlook you configure it to access an already existing email account.
