Learn how to find the SMTP address

1. First open your Windows Command Prompt or CMD.

Note: To open CMD from the Start menu, type CMD and open it after searching.

You can also open the Run window (Winkey + R) to open CMD, type cmd and click OK.

2. Then enter the following command to enter the nslookup environment:

nslookup

Nslookup is a DNS search tool that lets you find records created in the DNS of any domain.
