Bad address error during email notifications

[ABostick at mydoconline.com]

Hi,

I've been using nagios for 11 months now with great results.  I recently
migrated my nagios server from an older Dell 1650 to a newer Dell 1650.  I
used Mandrake 8.2 on both with the same packages.  I also compiled with the
same options, etc.  Basically I tried to mirror the two servers.  The new
server seems to work great, all the checks are working, web server is fine,
etc.  

Except for notifications.  No notifications work.  I ran nagios in debug mode
and have isolated the problem to utils.c, in function my_system().  This
function creates a non blocking pipe, forks a process, opens another pipe in
the new process and writes the output back to the parent process or something
like that.  It's a little confusing to me. :)

With the debugging I can see the command sent to the pipe, its a printf
"message" | mail -s "subject" user at somewhere type command.  I cut and paste
the exact command to a shell and the mail goes out and I get notified.
However, when nagios tries to send it through the pipe, the stdout shows the
message "Bad address" and no mail gets sent.  

I have tried to duplicate the Bad address message from the command line but
have not been able to do it with mail.  I have also tried a lot of other
things but this Bad address just won't go away!  Anyone else seen this or
know why?  I have the exact config on another box and it works great!

I googled for Bad address and nagios and saw someone from last year on the
netsaint list had this problem as well but they did not post a resolution.

I really am at a loss on this one so any help is would be wonderful!

Thanks a million,
Aaron Bostick
