You can't. The SMTP server needs to be configured by the user, as there is no standard way to determine the SMTP server to use.	[reply]

As I said, there is no common way to determine the default, as it depends on the MTA software installed on the local machine, and/or on the configuration of the mail clients sending the mail.	[reply]
