In ctrl/sbbs.ini, look for the [Mail] section of the configuration and enter 
the information for your ISP SMTP server in the "RelayServer" line.  This is 
the server they provided for your normal email as configured in Outlook 
Express or whatever you use.  If you have to authenticate to send mail to the 
ISP (not typical), then you can also add information to the RelayUsername and 
RelayPassword parameters.  If you do, you'll probably need to add one of the 
RELAY_* options to the Options line, too.

There's probably an easier place to do this inside the Windows configuration 
GUI, but I'm not familiar with that.
