notifications

[dylan at acmecargo.com]

I have all the logging options set. All I get in the nagios.log is the 
following in my test:

[1061660617] SERVICE ALERT: holstein;IMAP;CRITICAL;SOFT;1;Connection 
refused by host
[1061660677] SERVICE ALERT: holstein;IMAP;CRITICAL;SOFT;2;Connection 
refused by host
[1061660737] SERVICE ALERT: holstein;IMAP;CRITICAL;HARD;3;Connection 
refused by host
[1061660737] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: 
dylan;holstein;IMAP;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;Connection refused by host
[1061661637] SERVICE NOTIFICATION: 
dylan;holstein;IMAP;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;Connection refused by host

I know the first 3 are the alerts for the service (IMAP) that's down, and 
the "connection refused by host" is because I stopped the IMAP service. In 
the last 2, does the "Connection refused by host" mean it can't connect to 
port 25? The user dylan actually emails two different addresses both on 
different mail servers, but I'm guessing exim handles that. Any thoughts?
