So using this way works: 

<smtp_server>alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com</smtp_server> 

But it is going to spam folders! Which is kind of irritating. Are there any 
ways in which I can authenticate email sender's id?

And since I'm very new to the Ossec. I wonder there are no alerts.log in my 
/ossec/etc/logs folder. But still I get email alerts. Isn't sound bad?
