At right pane, click create node

In screen SAP Connect : General node data of node. I configure mail host, mail port. Note, with PI 7.3 your mail server have to TRUST your PI. If mail server don’t trust your PI, cannot send mail.

In Settings, configure default domain to send mail. This domain is domain of your company which configured by exchange server. In my case, domain is TTMSSG.com

Connect to SAP XI Runtime Workbench and Go to Alert Configuration.
