Hi,
I have a similar problem but with Nagios 2.0 under AIX 5.2
Mail are sent fine as well but Nagios doesn't send anything
Contacts.cfg:
define contact{
contact_name nagios-admin
alias Nagios Admin
service_notification_period 24x7
host_notification_period 24x7
service_notification_options w,u,c,r
host_notification_options d,r
service_notification_commands notify-by-email
host_notification_commands host-notify-by-email
email support.aix AT saq.qc.ca
}
Contactgroups.cfg:
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name admins
alias Nagios Administrators
members nagios-admin
}
Services.cfg
define service{
use generic-service ; Name of service template to use
# host_name *
hostgroup_name aix_test_servers
service_description http
is_volatile 0
check_period 24x7
max_check_attempts 4
normal_check_interval 5
retry_check_interval 1
contact_groups admins
notifications_enabled 1
notification_interval 960
notification_period 24x7
check_command check_http
}
The mail command in misccommands.cfg looks fine for this OS
Thanks in advance for your help.

The above information indicates that you don't have active or passive
checks enabled for the service. Is that the case? If so, you're not
checking the service so no notifications will ever go out. If you are
checking the service and the information above is incorrect, check
nagios.log for a notification attempt. Check your postfix logs. Verify
that you can send a notification by issuing your notification commands
exactly as they are defined as the nagios user (not root!) - post the
test here. If you still have problems, please post the exact host and
service definitions as well as your notification commands to this list -
the information above is not them. Nagios.log entries around the time
that the notification should happen would be useful as well.
