So far an apples v. oranges comparison. Host notifications and service
notifications are pretty independent of each other.

Where do you have this? In the host definition, service definition or
both? You need it in both if you want to receive notifications for both.
You will also want to verify that you have appropriate
service_notification_options specified for your contacts (c,r are
typical). 

Please post the entire service definition for
contactpoint3;sendmail_check, including any templates it references as
well as the contact{} definitions for this service (munge e-mail
address/private info)...
