Ok my next step would be to make sure the mail commands as they are setup in
misccommands.cfg work by running them manually on the command line. I don't see
anythins specifically in your configs that would prevent notifications from being
sent, but there are several reasons why a notification would not go out.. The best
methodical troubleshooting guide is

Of paticular interest is "what filters must be passed in order for notifications to be
sent?"  This should take you step by step to verify your config. 

Good luck!
