Are you sure about this command from the CLI ?

When I try 

tsitc> /usr/bin/printf "Nagios 1.0" | /usr/bin/mail -s "Host alert for
hosta"  Stanley.Hopcroft at IPAustralia.Gov.AU
<mailto:Stanley.Hopcroft at IPAustralia.Gov.AU>

Ambiguous input redirect.
tsitc>

/bin/csh complains about the '<' characters.

If your $CONTACTMAIL$ macro contains <mailto:emailaddress at mydomain.com>, 
you may be having the same problem.

If I quote the '<mailto:..>' then the mail is delivered to 
<mailto:Stanley.Hopcroft at IPAustralia.Gov.AU>, 
Stanley.Hopcroft at IPAustralia.Gov.AU
