TFS 2010: Email alerts are not working

NarVish asked:

Open original thread
I'm using smtp4dev to send email alerts from TFS. I'm using Windows VIsta. In TFS administration Console->Email Alert Settings, I set SMTP server as localhost and Email from Address is my mail id. In Visual Studio 2010, Team->Project Alerts, I enabled "Anything is checked in" and gave another email id in Send to field. After my checkins, I didn't receive any email. smtp4Dev is visible in system tray.

In Event Viewer, I found the below Error,

TF53010: The following error has occurred in a Team Foundation component or extension: Date (UTC): 12/3/2012 6:07:33 AM Machine: MACHINE112 Application Domain: TfsJobAgent.exe Assembly: Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a; v2.0.50727 Service Host: Process Details: Process Name: TFSJobAgent Process Id: 2804 Thread Id: 6996 Account name: NT AUTHORITY\LOCAL SERVICE

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
