Where did you pull these from? The command_line from your
notify-by-email command definition is something that nagios will run
from the shell, substituting appropriate $MACRO$ values. Note that you
have @VERSION@ and more importantly @MAIL_PROG@ values. Those are not
substituted by nagios at runtime and they make no sense to a shell (they
appear to be make variables). Try running '/usr/bin/printf "hello" |
@MAIL_PROG@ -s "test" you at address.com' to see.

@VERSION@ should be your nagios version and @MAIL_PROG@ should be the
full path to your mail executable (/bin/mail for example). The sample
config files will have automagically performed the substitutions for you
if you ran 'make install-config'.
