2. Now, Specify the following Mail Server Settings values. My configuration is shown in the picture following

3. As per the need you can change Email Domains, Email Format, and PDF Report Settings. I changed the link hostname from Email Format so that when you try to open the link from your alert mail it will redirect to that alert.

I was running on localhost so I put 127.0.0.1
