There are different ways to send mail through SharePoint depending on version of SharePoint.

1. SP 2010 - Sending via server side code using SPUtility class( provided your SharePoint farm has correct SMTP settings updated via central administration) or via System.Net.Mail. Refer below link http://sharepoint-community.net/profiles/blogs/sending-email-programmatically-in-sharepoint

2. SP 2013/2016 - you can also use above method but here another option coudle be sending mail via REST API from client side. below is sample code for quick reference.

   function sendEmail(from, to, body, subject) {

   var appweburl = decodeURIComponent(getQueryStringParameter('SPAppWebUrl'));
   var urlTemplate = appweburl + "/_api/SP.Utilities.Utility.SendEmail";
   $.ajax({
       contentType: 'application/json',
       url: urlTemplate,
       type: "POST",
       data: JSON.stringify({
           'properties': {
               '__metadata': { 'type': 'SP.Utilities.EmailProperties' },
               'From': from,
               'To': { 'results': [to] },
               //'CC': { 'results': [cc]}, //Maybe you want to include a CC address?
               'Body': body,
               'Subject': subject
           }
       }
     ),
       headers: {
           "Accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
           "content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
           "X-RequestDigest": $("#__REQUESTDIGEST").val()
       },
       success: function (data) {
          alert("An email was sent.");
       },
       error: function (args) {
          alert("We had a problem and an email was not sent.");
       }
   }); }
