nagios generated email.

[rob.moss at uk.bnpparibas.com]

Sorry about top posting, but i'm using Notes and it sucks

Nagios just uses /bin/mailx which also relies on local
sendmail/qmail/whatever to be configured properly.. I built my own perl
emailer to connect directly to a configured mail server, use a configured
FROM address and send TO an address passed to it by Nagios.  This script
also formats the alert output so it's reasonably easy to change to suit
your purposes..

I have just uploaded it to Nagios Exchange here:

Enjoy!
