Ha! As it turns out there is a second place to define an outgoing email host.
if you right click on the automation driver and select edit, one of the options is the SMTP Server Settings.
That's the smtp server the automation driver uses. The other one is used in password recovery. In there you can enter the smtp server and if it needs it, a user and password to access the smtp server. Don't forget to fill in the location.
You learn something new every day around here.
