E-Mail notification

[Lewis Getschel]

I have an excellent solution for this problem. My Nagios server isn't a 
mail server either.

I Use mailsend 
(http://www.muquit.com/muquit/software/mailsend/mailsend.html)

You point it to another mailserver that you already have running, and 
your mail will be sent just fine.

Here is my config for notify-by-epager:
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-epager
        command_line     /usr/bin/printf "%b" "$HOSTALIAS$ : 
$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n$SERVICEDESC$\nState:$SERVICESTATE$\nDate:$DATETIME$\n>$OUTPUT$" 
| /usr/local/nagios/bin/mailsend -d yourdomain.com -smtp 
localmailserver.yourdomain.com -f nagios at localmailserver.yourdomain.com 
-t '$CONTACTPAGER$' -sub ""
}
BTW, there is a version for both linux and Windows I use it in my batch 
files). This way I can have my servers in both environments send me mail 
easily.
