Service Notifications have stopped ?

[Gene White]

After searching the archives and documentation in vain, here's my
problem.

After having Nagios running for almost a month, service notification
emails have stopped being sent.  Host notifications are still working.
I have been adding to, and tweaking some of the cfg files, but have not
touched the misccommands.cfg (is was just copied from the sample-config
directory). Here are some examples from ../nagios/var/nagios.log:

[1102540194] SERVICE ALERT: SHDFS;Ping;WARNING;SOFT;1;PING WARNING -
Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 282.59 ms
[1102540254] SERVICE ALERT: SHDFS;Ping;OK;SOFT;2;PING OK - Packet loss =
0%, RTA = 99.84 ms
(((( No Notifications ))))

[1102512685] HOST ALERT: HNBDep2;DOWN;HARD;3;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out
after 10 seconds
[1102512685] HOST NOTIFICATION:
Gene;HNBDep2;DOWN;host-notify-by-email;CRITICAL - Plugin timed out after
10 seconds
[1102512945] HOST ALERT: HNBDep2;UP;HARD;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%,
RTA = 0.39 ms
[1102512945] HOST NOTIFICATION:
Gene;HNBDep2;UP;host-notify-by-email;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA =
0.39 ms
(((( Notification Logged and Received in my Inbox))))

The /var/log/maillog file does not have any entries at the time of the
Service Alert, but does have the Host Alert entry.
And this works from the CL:
[root at hnb-monitor etc]# /bin/mail -s "testing" gwhite at homenational.com

Here is my setup information:

Server - WBEL 3.0
Nagios 1.2
Plugins 1.3.1
Sendmail 8.12.11

I hope I have enough of the relevant cfg files pasted, anyway here they
are:
