not getting email alerts

[Tedman Eng]

Test if email works from your nagios server using:
echo "Test" | /bin/mail username at domain.com

Outbound mail spool defaults to /var/spool/mqueue.  
Look there to see if it's stuck in there.


If you have an internal mail server already that accepts SMTP, you can
configure smarthost relay for sendmail:

  Look for a line in your /etc/mail/sendmail.cf:
  # "Smart" relay host (may be null)
  DS

  Change it to:
  # "Smart" relay host (may be null)
  DSsmtp.domain.com


Make sure "smtp.domain.com" is the DNS resolvable name of your internal mail
server, or add an entry to /etc/hosts to aid name lookup.

Subject: [Nagios-users] not getting email alerts


I am having problems in getting emails when things go wrong either 
with hosts and with Services. I would be very grateful if someone could help
me.
 I do not know if the problem comes from configuration or whatever.
 I will send you some of my configuration files. I am not sure if they 
are all the files I have to configure. If you can send me also the
configuration of
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc. I suppose that I am missing some configuration file
but I do not know which. How has to be defined the mail server? I think that

I am failing in that way. Please help!!
If some files or some configuration is wrong please tell me.
