Jenkins email configuration - Test email configuration succeeds but email is not received by user

I am Using Jenkins v1.521 on Windows 2008 R2 server. I need to enable email build notifications in the builds. I have also installed email ext plugin.

I have configured the SMTP server details under Configure System in Jenkins. I tried sending the test email from Jenkins using "Test Configuration" option providing my email address and I get a message that says "Email successfully sent" but I don't seem to be receiving the email.

I also tried doing a telnet to the SMTP server directly on the server hosting Jenkins and sent an email manually and it worked. I received the email.

I wonder why the mail sending part does not work via Jenkins?

Could any one please provide me suggestions to fix this issue?

In order to get this to work, a valid email must be entered into the "System Admin e-mail address" field. That field is on the same page but is located in another section higher up. Without doing so, I too received a message that the email was successfully sent but I never received it. Once I set it, the test emails started to be received properly.
