alerts not been sent

[K Shantanu]

Hi all,
This is the first time I have configured nagios, but the problem is
that the alerts are not been sent to my email address mentioned in contacts.cfg
The OS is RH Linux 7.3 and it is a tar-ball install,

In fact,
# cat status.log
# Nagios 1.2 Status File
[1083594508] PROGRAM;1083486163;26821;1;0;1083522600;1;1;1;1;0;0;1;0

In my service.cfg I have,
define service{
use                             generic-service
host_name                       dcpl

#check_command                   check_ping!100.0,20%!500.0,60%
check_command                   check_pop

[Note- The real IP is masked with x.x.x.x]

hosts.cfg contains,

define host{
        use                     generic-host
        host_name               dcpl
        alias                   old plesk
        address                 x.x.x.x
        check_command           check-host-alive
        max_check_attempts      10
        notification_interval   120
        notification_period     24x7
        notification_options    d,u,r
}

# cat contacts.cfg


define contact{
        contact_name                    dcpl
        alias                           Nagios Admin
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,u,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email,notify-by-epager
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email,host-notify-by-epager
        email                           shantanu-nagios at xxxxxxxxxx
        pager                           pagenagios-admin at localhost.localdomain
        }

Can someone please tell me where exactly am I going wrong?

Thanks a lot for the help.

Regards,
Shantanu
