Configuring GoToSocial to send emails is **not required** in order to have a properly running instance. Still, it's very useful for doing things like sending confirmation emails and notifications, and handling password reset requests.
In order to make GoToSocial email sending work, you need an smtp-compatible mail service running somewhere, either as a server on the same machine that GoToSocial is running on, or via an external service like [Mailgun](https://mailgun.com). It may also be possible to use free a personal email address for sending emails, if your email provider supports smtp (check with them), but you might run into trouble sending lots of emails.
