I have only does this for MS Exchange heres how:

1. Open Cognos Configuration

2. Go to Data Access -> Notification

3. Enter values here

   - SMTP mail server - e.g exchange:25 (the dns/ip of your exchange server and the port default is 25)
 
   - Account and password - a valid exchange account, this will be used to send mail

   - Default sender - email address that emails from cognos will appear to come from

4. Save and close

Good luck
