Trying to configure Ignition 7.6.5-RC4 to send test alarm. On the SMTP server see no attempted connection from Ignition server. As far as I can tell (not really knowing java) seems something is stopping Ignition from even attempting connection to the SMTP.

This is a bug on our end, but it looks like the error is because you don’t have a notification profile selected on your notification block.
