Nagios doesn't send mail!

[gmourani at privalodc.com]

Hello Frank,

> Do you seeing it trying to send a notification in the log file?
No, the log file (nagios.log) doesn't show any notification, I can see
other info like service alert but nothing about email send notification.

> Perhaps you've configured it not to send emails.
How/where can I check for this?
