 From my config:

contacts.cfg:


define contact{
        contact_name                    chandler
        alias                           chandler
        service_notification_period     24x7
        host_notification_period        24x7
        service_notification_options    w,u,c,r
        host_notification_options       d,u,r
        service_notification_commands   notify-by-email
        host_notification_commands      host-notify-by-email
        email                           chandler at chapman.edu
        }

commands.cfg:

# 'notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 2.6 
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: 
$SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: 
$SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $LONGDATETIME$\n\nAdditional 
Info:\n\n$SERVICEOUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/mail -s "** $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$ 
alert - $HOSTALIAS$/$SERVICEDESC$ is $SERVICESTATE$ **" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }

# 'host-notify-by-email' command definition
define command{
        command_name    host-notify-by-email
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 2.6 
*****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: 
$HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $HOSTOUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: 
$LONGDATETIME$\n" | /usr/bin/mail -s "Host $HOSTSTATE$ alert for 
$HOSTNAME$!" $CONTACTEMAIL$
        }


Then I set my host and service definitions, and everything works like a 
charm.  That help any?
