Hi Abegal!

When you install nagios, there are any commands(commands.cfg file) that was 
created by default(host-notify-by-email and notify-by-email) this commands 
sends notifications by mail, this commands must be asociated with a 
contacts(contacts.cfg)

You must to read the nagios manual for the specific information, this 
information is a first step

define command{
command_name    host-notify-by-email
command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios  *****\n\nNotification 
Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: 
$HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n" |  
/usr/bin/mail -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!" $CONTACTEMAIL$
}

define command{
command_name    notify-by-email
command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios  *****\n\nNotification 
Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: 
$HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: 
$LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" |  /usr/bin/mail -s
