This option sets the value in Defaults.py for DEFAULT_EMAIL_HOST which
in turn sets the domain part of e-mail addresses that appear in
outgoing mail and on web pages. E.g. the envelope sender is set to
<listname>-bounces@<this_value>.

It has nothing to do with the host for the outgoing SMTP server.
