None of these configuration options will work on builds older than the 1st of August 2015.

Currently, the email alerts needs to be set up in the config. If you want to enable it, paste this in your config and change it:

// Mailer backend Settings
$config['email_backend']              = 'mail';               // Mail backend. Allowed: "mail" (PHP's built-in), "sendmail", "smtp".
$config['email_from']                 = NULL;                 // Mail from. Default: "ProjectName" <projectid@`hostname`>
$config['email_user']                 = $config['project_id'];
$config['email_sendmail_path']        = '/usr/sbin/sendmail'; // The location of the sendmail program.
$config['email_smtp_host']            = 'localhost';          // Outgoing SMTP server name.
$config['email_smtp_port']            = 25;                   // The port to connect.
$config['email_smtp_timeout']         = 10;                   // SMTP connection timeout in seconds.
$config['email_smtp_secure']          = NULL;                 // Enable encryption. Use 'tls' or 'ssl'
$config['email_smtp_auth']            = FALSE;                // Whether or not to use SMTP authentication.
$config['email_smtp_username']        = NULL;                 // SMTP username.
$config['email_smtp_password']        = NULL;                 // Password for SMTP authentication.

// Alerting Settings
$config['alerts']['email']['default']      = 'sendto@somewhere.com';    // Default alert recipient
$config['alerts']['email']['default_only'] = FALSE;   // Only use default recipient
$config['alerts']['email']['enable']       = TRUE;    // Enable email alerts
$config['alerts']['bgp']['whitelist']      = NULL;    // Populate as an array() with ASNs to alert on.
$config['alerts']['port']['ifdown']        = FALSE;   // Generate alerts for ports that go down
