When I start the task of configuring TFS Alert I found very good article on how to configure this alert using the Gmail, see the following link http://elbruno.com/2011/04/25/tfs2010-howto-configure-an-smtp-service-to-send-mails-using-a-gmail-account/

Thanks Albruno for this post Any way when I start test the example all I need to do just stop and start the SMTP server from IIS 6.0 Manager and the e-mails will be sent, I also decide to decrease all the time for the retry time which is the first one is 15 minutes to be 5 minutes and so on You can also test the email using Telnet for more information google how to send email using telnet Don't forget to change the service to be automated start for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol service We will also configure the alert in the MOSS 2010 as the following:
