notification emails

[Claudio Kuenzler]

Did you by accident disable the notifications?

On the Nagios web interface, click on Tactical Overview.
At the end of the page (Monitoring Features) check that Notifications are
green/enabled.

It would make sense as you don't have SELinux and all commands seem to work
from command-line (you also checked them with your Nagios user, not root,
right?).
