Subject: [Nagios-users] nagios sending out old alert emails



We had a problem a few days ago where half of our network went down
including the connection to the server running nagios.  Well today I
started receiving alerts from that day, is there a reason why this is
happening now? Instead of the day it happened?

<marc> Since Nagios does not have any internal queueing of
notifications, the most likely scenario is that Nagios properly handed
off the notifications to your MTA on the Nagios machine, the MTA was
unable to deliver the messages, queued them and is just now attempting
re-delivery. A quick look at your mail server logs on the Nagios machine
should confirm or refute that.

people see your message, it's easier to respond with proper quoting and
it won't clutter up the digests with useless HTML.
