You don't say what trouble you are having. What are you doing? What
happens? What did you expect to happen? What's in the mail log files?

The documentation is pretty clear on this.

There are many to choose from: personally, I use Postfix. Which are you
trying to use?

Do you mean another server to receive SMTP or to send via? If the later,
you need to set your MTA's "smarthost" to that server. If the former,
please explain exactly how this setup should work. I don't understand your
POP3 comment - POP3 is a protocol for collecting email, and is not really
applicable to RT.
