I’ve been stuck on this problem for several days and haven’t; made much headway.
None of the email alerts from any of my systems work at all. I’ve confirmed that
I can send mail from the systems, and that if I copy/paste the ‘notify-by-email’
command contents is the screen (substituting macros of course), that the email
comes. The log file does not have any email errors at all… it notes the host go
down soft, then hard, but no action is taken. The problem seems to be that
nagios isn’t trying to send the notifications at all. </SPAN></FONT><FONT
