This version tries to prioritize: just two items that we really want

## Step 4: Configure and use
Zulip needs to be able to send email in order to confirm new users'

provide Zulip with credentials on an email server it can use for
outgoing messages.

* [Set up outgoing email](email.html) so Zulip can confirm new users'
email addresses and send notifications.

Zulip at its best.
See [our guide for outgoing email](email.html) for detailed
instructions, including references to free outgoing-email services if
you don't have one already. You'll set the host and username in
`/etc/zulip/settings.py` and the password in
`/etc/zulip/zulip-secrets.conf`, then restart Zulip to pick up the new
configuration.
