Hello,<br><br>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:<br>1)replacing the current command with a simple echo "test" > /tmp/test.<br>
2)leaving the mail command in and checking my postfix log - which shows no attempts being made at all.<br><br>I also don't see anything about sending alerts in my nagios.log/syslog<br>Jan 13 13:13:26 nocnag02 nagios: SERVICE ALERT: mt-ubuntu;SMTP Availability;CRITICAL;HARD;2;Connection refused<br>
