Hi@akhtar,

You may get this error if you didn't specify the mail server name. You can go through the below-given example.

output {
email {
  to => "xyz@gmail.com"
  body => "Message: This is Nadeem"
  address => "smtp.gmail.com"
  port => 465
  username => "abc@gmail.com"
  password => "pass"
  use_tls => true
}
}
