Emails Not Getting sent with SMTP Server Configured in Gerrit v3.2

Question

I have edited gerrits config file with the required SMTP details:

 [sendemail]
 enable = true
 smtpServer = smtp.server.com
 smtpServerPort = 25 

But the thing is, the details somehow don't work upon gerrit but the same values do work upon Jenkins.

There really isnt helpful documentation out there wrt to Gerrit. I even tried to configure the server side of settings for projects config file with:

[access]
    inheritFrom = All-Projects
[submit]
    action = inherit
[access "refs/*"]
    owner = blah blah blah
[notify "Administrators"]
    email = [email protected]

I tried looking into error logs as well but NOTHING. Any pointers would be really helpful for me.

Issue Resolved

The configuration at the gerrit.conf side is just the server side of it.

For the client side, go to Settings -> Notifications.

Set notifications for

-> Project Name: <whichever project you have access to>

-> Branch: master or any other branch of your choice.

-> Save Changes

Once you have configured the notifications, the subscribed events would be sent to you in the form of emails via Gerrit.
