nagios sending recovery emails before critical emails

He's suggesting that the link from your nagios machine or the machine
that is acting as your mail server was down briefly. I would suggest
that you go through your mail server logs on both your nagios box and
your mail server and see if the alerts came in and were delivered in the
proper order or if they were transposed. That would narrow it down to
either Nagios, the mail server on the nagios machine or your main mail
server.
