mail notification and notification_interval

I'd suggest a normal interval of 5, retry interval of 1 and max attempts 
of 2. That means you normally check every 5 minutes, but if there is a 
failure it'll come back in 1 minute and check again. If that fails it'll 
send a notifications. This gives you a max time-to-notify of ~ 6 minutes.
