mail notifications

[Terry Simons]

Uh...

Try forcing your SMTP to send as "nagios at address"  Where address is 
your server's *real* IP address, or your server's DNS.

nagios at localhost is probably not a good idea.

localhost means "this computer" so maybe your ISP's mail server is 
thinking "This didn't come from me!!" and throwing it away.

  Just an idea.
