Technically, you can set the sender to anything your on-prem email solution will allow. But setting it to a @splunkcloud.com address makes as much sense as setting it @whatever.domain.you.can.think.of.

Generally, you shouldn't do that. You should set it either to an address from your local domain (even if it's a non-existent mailbox) or - per RFC2606 - use the .invalid top level domain. (like splunk@myorgsplunk.invalid)

@raymondteledata - Just curious, from where did you get this email address? This email address is not a valid address as per email domain checker and I don't see it in Splunk documentation either.

Since you are using Splunk Enterprise (on‑prem), you have to configure your own SMTP relay or mail server.
