getting nagios to snmp to my box, Where do i specify the community

[frank]

First you need to decide what kind of check you're attempting. Your mail 
says "snmp" (and "smnp") but your config says "SMTP".

Try actually running an SNMP check and you might get better results. At 
the very least you'll get rid of those "Connection refused" messages since 
SNMP is stateless.
