Under Board / Setup / Email Settings 

Update Settings for the Board - you can also "Apply to all schools" and "Overwrite existing values" 

Apply to all schools 

If you do not apply to all schools, only the board will have the settings and you will need to manually update each school under School / Setup / Email Settings. 

Overwrite existing values

If an existing value is the fields already, this will force the update to take place and ensure the school has the lates settings.
