Glad this one wasn't > /dev/null ;-)
Sorry, this is  the informations :

OS :redhat 9.0, nagios 1.1.

So I'm sure there are no problems with /bin/mail ...

And your first answer, marc, made me think ...

In fact, I had only one command to send email, which is the one by default :
"notify-by-email", and I was using it for both services and hosts.

Now, I have (in $NAGIOS_DIR/etc/miscommands.cfg ) :

# 'host-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios  *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\n
State: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert
for $HOSTNAME$!" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

(I just copied this from your first message ..)

# 'service-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    service-notify-by-email
        command_line    /bin/echo -e "Subject: Service $SERVICEDESC$ $SERVICESTATE$ alert for $HOSTNAME$!\n\n***** Nagios ****
*\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\n\nService: $SERVI
CEDESC$\nInfo: $OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" | /bin/mail -s '** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is
 $SERVICESTATE$ **' $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }
and surprisingly, I now have all the informations I need :

***** Nagios  *****

Notification Type: PROBLEM
Host: test
State: DOWN
Address: 10.100.10.15
Info: PING CRITICAL - Host Unreachable (10.100.10.15)

Date/Time: Wed Oct 1 14:13:45 BST 2003

For the host notification at least, didn't test yet for services.

Thank you very  much for that.

Regards

Alexis

Well, without seeing your specific host, service and notify commands and a sample notification email, it's going to be hard to diagnose further. This functionality is very stable within nagios itself (i.e. it's very unlikely that it's a bug) and is more likely the result of a formatting error or the use of some unusual character in a definition somewhere. Also, since we're relying on other components of the OS like /bin/mail, OS vendor and version information might prove useful as well for vendor specific implementation issues. Finally, as the footer says --

::: Please include Nagios version, plugin version (-v) and OS when reporting any issue. 
::: Messages without supporting info will risk being sent to /dev/null
