Notification

[Dirk Johannson]

You must NOT put a sendmail-command into the misccommands.cfg, mail -s 
should do as it is. Sendmail is not intended as a user-interface, but as 
a MTA. Simply speaking, sendmail acts as the real mailserver, whereas 
"mail -s ..." in the misccommands.cfg acts as the mailclient, but both 
on the physically same machine.

With a out-of the-box-installation of sendmail you should at least be 
able to receive mail locally on your nagios-box. If that part works, you 
can go on by configuring sendmail to forward mail to your "main" 
mailserver to receive notifications in the mailclient on your windows-, 
linux- or whatever-workstation.

But I think, we drift away from the topic of this list a little bit. 
"man sendmail" could help you to get ahead.

Sorry for my bad english...
