When you configured your email settings (Admin -> Manage Email Settings), did you set a username / password to use for authenticating against your SMTP server?

sorry, to send email problem was able to walk normally, but I have another problem, namely email alerts / notification is only sent to users who create service are monitored.
I hope, alert / notification is sent to a particular mailing list. whether it can be done simultaneously? thanks

I am not completely sure what you are asking here. Are you saying that you want to add additional contacts to a service so that they get an email as well? That should be just as easy as adding another contact to the service, or if you're using contactgroups, adding that contact to the contactgroup that is assigned to the service.
