Your notification command is not configured correctly. Usually you'd see
a mail program like 'mail' between the "|" and "-s" in the command
definition.
Just insert the mail program you use on your server there, and make sure
the -s switch does set the subject.
On most common unix(like) systems, the command "mail" should work
correctly. Then, make sure your local mail transport program aka mail
server is set up correctly :-)
