Email Notifications

[Wilcox, Chris]

Problem.
 
Using nullmailer.  When an example email is sent to nullmailer from the
command line it works fine.  But when Nagios generates an email it doesn't
get to me.
 
I have:
 
1)     Enabled notifications in Nagios.cfg
2)     Added a contact
3)     Added this contact to contact groups
4)     Made sure under Notifications that a notification was generated.
 
My send line in misccommands.cfg is:
 
# 'host-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
            command_name            host-notify-by-email
            command_line   /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 1.0
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState:
$HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time:
$DATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!"
$CONTACTEMAIL$
            }
 
This line when executed from the command line works.
 
Host#/bin/printf "Nagios 1.0" | /bin/mail -s "Host alert for hosta"
emailaddress at mydomain.com <mailto:emailaddress at mydomain.com> 
 
Any help here appreciated.
