I guess you mean "uses" not "implements".

There are a number of ways
- Phone your ISP's help desk.
- Look at your ISP's web pages.
- Look at your email client (e.g. Outlook) configuration.

No. an ISP mail server name is often something like "mail.isp.com" or
"smtp.isp.com" for outgoing mail; something like "pop.isp.com" or
"mail.isp.com" for incoming mail.
Your "focode@focode.com" has the form of an email address and would be
inappropriate as a server name.

You are . It is not. Unless you are already running a correctly
configured SMTP service on your machine - which seems unlikely given
your question.

It's not important to me however! Nevertheless, I hope this helps.

If you have an email program working, look at its config.
Typically mail server names will look like this:
mail.mindprod.com
pop3.mindprod.com
smtp.mindprod.com
pop.mindprod.com
You might download http://mindprod.com/products1.html#BULK
It is bulk emailer using JavaMail.

You have to contact your ISP for that information. Quite often they will have
the information on their home page, or via a link reachable from their home page.

No, that's an email address. A mail server would more likely be along the
lines of
mail.foo.com
for incoming, and
smtp.foo.com
for outgoing.

No.
