Notification not sending email.

[Neil Marjoram]

I'm having a little trouble with notifications. 



I can't workout why Nagios is not sending alert emails. I have read
 the documentation, FAQ's and mailing lists and have concluded it
 is only me that can't get it to work. Can someone have a look at
 my configs below to see if I have done anything wrong. I loaded
 up Nagios QL to check I am configuring the files correctly but
 it has made no difference. Running the command for email on the
 command line works (although it errors because of the variables)



Many thanks,



Neil.
