Here, nagios is running the 'host-notify-by-email' command for the  
contact named 'root'. It's trying to send a notification. Does that  
command_line work as the nagios user from the command line? Do you see  
any indication of the attempt in your mail server log files on the  
nagios machine?

If it's not obvious what the problem is, please post that command{}  
definition, the contact{} definition for root and your test from the  
command line as well as any errors seen.
