Once selected, the “Add” button and the Smart host listing section will become enabled
Click “Add”
And then Add ES private IP address as smarthost

Once done, press “OK”.
This will take you back to the previous screen, and your newly added smart host should now appear in the Smart Host listing.
You can add more than one smart host if needed.
Select authentication as needed “none” , “basic authentication” or “TLS”
Click the “OK” button at the bottom of the send connector properties windows to apply the changes
All outgoing emails that would go through that send connector will now go out via the specified smart host on port 25
