Go to SETISpy's web page. They should have it on the FAQ.

Guess I'll just do it...
[cut and pase begin!]
1. Stop your SETI Spy if it is running.
2. Download the latest version of SETI Spy (3.0.6 or later) if you have not already done so.
3. Open the setispy.ini file in your SETI@home folder with a text editor like NotePad.
4. Add a line "BackupEmailAddr=youraddress@yourISP.com" just below the UserPercentage= line in the [Stats] section. Do not use quotes, and replace youraddress@yourISP.com with the email address you log into SETI@home with. The [Stats] section should now look something like the image below, with the added line shown in red. Don't worry of the lines are not exactly in the same order. Just add the BackupEmailAddr= line below the UserPercentage= line.

5. Save setispy.ini.
6. Start SETI Spy 3.0.6.
[cut and paste end]

There ya go!
