nagios 3.0.5 email notifications fail {Spam?}

[alex alex]

Hi again,
Yes, there is another template named generic-contact but it's identical to
the generic (excepting the name).
But here's a good news: I have some notifications (finnaly, it seems that
the notification works). And the bad news is that I get only emails like:

"

Return-Path: <nagios at localhost.localdomain>
Received: from localhost.localdomain (localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1])
	by localhost.localdomain (8.14.1/8.14.1) with ESMTP id n0CAArp4003801
	for <nagios at localhost.localdomain>; Mon, 12 Jan 2009 12:10:53 +0200

Subject: ** $ Host Alert: host1 is UP **

***** Nagios *****

Notification: FLAPPINGSTOP

Info: PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 11.74 ms

Or for a service
"
Subject: ** FLAPPINGSTOP Service Alert: host1/is_alive is OK **

***** Nagios *****

Notification Type: FLAPPINGSTOP

Service: is_alive
Host: host1
Address: 172.24.14.242
State: OK

Date/Time: Mon Jan 12 12:10:53 EET 2009

Additional Info:

PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 131.99 ms


"

Is it the right behaviour (to put flapping instead up/down if the flapping
is enabled) ? The thresholds for flapp are set at 25% and 50%.

Anyhow, some notifications are sent and that's the main good news. I think
from now only some small changes must be done in my configs to tune the
uinstallation.

Thank you again,

Alex
