Unlike Jira, Email This Issue supports the use of multiple SMTP Servers. The list of SMTP Server Servers is accessible from the Emails / SMTP Servers menu.

...

Email This Issue comes with a built-in SMTP server. This is availble available right after installation. The purpose of this SMTP server is to evaluate Email This Issue and start sending emails right after installation, but we do not recommend it for production use.

Instead, we highly recommend you configure an SMTP Server server of your choice from the professional email provider, like Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and the like etc. or your own corporate SMTP server.

...

You can define the SMTP server to use for different projects, type or issues by creating an Advanced Email Configuration with the proper scope.

SMTP Server Connection dialog
