Not sending alerts

That certainly seems to be a valid configuration.  Have you included all
your configs in the main nagios.cfg file so that they are all being read?
Barring that, do you have any service/host depencies setup?  What about
escalations?

If you have any dependency or escalation configs, I would disable them
first before doing any more troubleshooting.

Hello,

We seem to be having an issue with our alert notifications.  From what I've
determined the command 'notify-by-email' isn't even being called from
commands.cfg. I verified this by:
1)replacing the current command with a simple echo "test" > /tmp/test.
2)leaving the mail command in and checking my postfix log - which shows no
attempts being made at all.

I also don't see anything about sending alerts in my nagios.log/syslog
Jan 13 13:13:26 nocnag02 nagios: SERVICE ALERT: mt-ubuntu;SMTP

I have the following configuration for this service:
