Are you referring to these questions of the configuration setup process:

Do you have a "mail transport agent" (MTA) like Exim, Postfix or SSMTP
configured on this computer to send mail to the Internet? [y|N|q|?]?
Please enter the name of your SMTP host. Usually it's called something
like "mail.example.org" or "smtp.example.org". If you need to use a
different port than default, use the <host>:<port>
alternative format. Just press ENTER if you don't have one or don't
know, and so a Debian SMTP host will be used.

? If so, can you please explain what is the part you don't find clear enough?
