SMTP - If you prefer to use a SMTP service or server. This is generally more reliable, but can be disabled on many shared servers.
PHP Mail Function - Assumes you have an internal mail server. If you choose this option, all other SMTP configuration options are ignored except Host and Port Number. For the PHP mail function host is generally "localhost" and port is 25, but check with your host. Also note that if this is enabled messages are ONLY sent in plain text format. Finally, some servers restrict outgoing messages to none internal mailboxes. If this fails you should try and use SMTP.

If CleanTalk is Disabled, Enable Basic Captcha - If CleanTalk is disabled, you can enable a basic captcha, which appears below the form. This enables a more basic way of protecting your system from bots. The captcha settings can be updated in the 'control/classes/class.captcha.php' file.
