Host and Service notification

[Thomas Braun]

Hi,

i have a host which is sometimes unreachable  over SMTP , in the same
time it is reachable over ICMP.  If i restart this Host, i get first a
SMTP service alert message an than a Host-Down, Host-UP alert message .
But i dont get an SMTP-Service recovery message, how can i change this
behavior.
i want to get a service recovery-message in any case.  Is this possible?

Thanks for your help.


enclosed the Service definition and the Host definition:
define host{
                use generic-host
                host_name mail.example.com
                alias mail.example.com
                address X.X.X.X
                check_command check-host-alive
                max_check_attempts 3
                notification_interval 120
                notification_period 24x7
                notification_options r,d,u
}

define service{
                use     generic-service
                host_name      mail.example.com

                is_volatile     0
                check_period    24x7
