email errors

Hello All,
I have done quite a lot of searching for an answer to this problem, so far no luck.

I am trying without any luck to send alerts via email. The splunk server is installed on windows 2012.
I get these types of errors:
[Errno 10013] An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions while sending mail to: [email protected]

and
2019-08-19 10:00:05,233 -0700 ERROR sendemail:137 - Sending email. subject="Splunk Alert: Test Alert",

It should be noted that sendmail is a linux program. I see where python is installed on the server, but there is no sendmail.py file
that I can find on the server.
I have an smtp server that required no authentication (for internal use only).
How can splunk be configured to send email alerts from a Windows box?

First try using a well-understood public server like gmail:

If you can get that to work, then backtrack from there.
