Notification problem

[Drew Kollasch]

Nagios is not and does not contain an MTA. You must have some way to
move mail off of the box to a 'real' mail server. On my gentoo box I
emerge mailx and all is good. Otherwise postfix and sendmail (while
overkill, they work) work fine as well. 

If you can move mail off of the nagios host server, then most more
details about what you are doing. Simple mail test:
[server]$echo test | mail root at foo.bar -s test

You should receive an email with test as the subject and test in the
body. If you do not, then you need to install an MTA as mentioned above.

Hope this helps-
