SQL Server 2008 :: Custom Alert Is Not Emailing Operator?

I am trying to create an alert when there are more than 2500 connections to our ailing SQL Server.However, for now, I need to restart the SQL server service because users begin complaining they can't connect.

1) I created an operator - me.

2) I created a job which runs a query.

INSERT INTO Sessions_alert
SELECT host_name, program_name, login_name, count(c.session_id ) num_sessions, getdate()
FROM sys.dm_exec_connections c JOIN sys.dm_exec_sessions s on c.session_id = s.session_id
GROUP BY host_name,program_name,login_name ORDER BY 4 DESC

3) I created an alert - included the job from above. Type performance condition alert. Object - SQL Server General Statistics. Counter - User connections.Alert if counter rises above 50. Just testing. I really want to know when it gets past 2500.

4) I've set the alert to email and delay is between responses 2 minutes.

It history tables says number of occurences is 18964. However, I don't receive an email.

Shouldn't the alert send an email? Do I need to include email code in the job?
