$host1$ is not a valid macro - this should either be $HOSTNAME$ or
$HOSTADDRESS$ or $HOSTALIAS$ - The macro is automatically replaced with
the correct value.
$sunsolnav at yahoo.com$ is also not valid - this should be $CONTACTEMAIL$
- You put your details in the contacts.cfg file.
 
Also check there is a space after printf (i.e /usr/bin/printf (space)
"%b")
 
it should look like this
 
 
# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf  "%b" "***** Nagios
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$
\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState:
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$"
| /usr/
bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is
$SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

     Check your configuration file(s) to ensure that they contain valid
     directives and data defintions.  If you are upgrading from a
previous
     version of Nagios, you should be aware that some
variables/definitions
     may have been removed or modified in this version.  Make sure to
read
     the HTML documentation on the main and host config files, as well
as the
     'Whats New' section to find out what has changed.
