Please post formatted code, not pictures of code. That way we don't have to type it all out again to test or edit in our answers.

1. Presumably **Alarm\_Mail** is the name of an email profile you have set up on the gateway, Config → Networking → Email Settings. Is this correct?
2. On the Email Settings profiles page there is a More ▼ button with a **Test** option. Did you confirm that your email profile is working?
