A correct email settings section would look like this:

<emailSettings useMail="enabled">    <sendTo>this@is.an.example.net</sendTo></emailSettings>

RESOLUTIONS:​

There are 3 possible ways to resolve this issue:

Possible Fix # 1.​

Export the AA policy to XML, then edit the XML.

Delete section:

<emailSettings />

And save XML file, then reimport the AA policy.

Possible Fix #2.​

Export the AA policy to XML, then edit the XML.

Update Section from

<emailSettings />

to

<emailSettings>
    <sendTo />
</emailSettings>

and save XML file, then reimport the AA policy.

Possible Fix #3.​

Edit the Admin Approval policy in the Netwrix Endpoint Policy Manager (formerly PolicyPak) Admin Console (MMC) and set the Email option "Use of email:" under the Email tab to "Not Configured" then save the policy.  Afterward, you can edit the AA policy again to add in the correct email settings if needed.
