Macros are always enabled but in your case, $SERVICE*$ macros don't  
make any sense for host notifications and aren't available for them.  
They're only valid for service notifications. You need to use the  
corresponding $HOST*$ macros as detailed on the macros documentation.  
The sample config files ship with a notify-by-email for service  
notifications and host-notify-by-email for host notifications. You  
should see if you already have one defined and use it instead.
