They're just commands with different macros to represent extra
information.  host-notify-by-email is used for host, and contains host
based macros, whilst notify-by-email includes service macros.

The documentation doesn't mention it, but you could give it a shot. if
that doesn't work, you can use the address# where # is a number from
1-6.

You don't have to have an SMTP server, just something to relay to one
(nullmailer, ssmtp, etc) that can be configured to relay through
another host.
