[1216833337] SERVICE NOTIFICATION:
nagiosadmin;jwilliamspc;PrintSpooler;CRITICAL;service-notify-by-email;Spooler: Stopped

However no email is being delivered.  I know I can successfully send
SMTP mail from this box because I tested it via telnet 25.  Here is what
I have configured in the send_mail.pl file:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# than a bunch of commented stuff on how to set up the command.cfg file

use strict;
use Net::SMTP;
use Getopt::Std;

my $mailhost	=	192.168.1.9	;
my $maildomain	=	us.g4s.com	;
my $mailfrom	=	nagios at us.g4s.com;
my $mailto	=	jonathan.williams at us.g4s.com;
my $timeout		=	30;
my $mailsubject	=	'';	  						#	Leave blank
my $mailbody	=	'';							#	Leave blank
my $logfile		=	'/var/log/mail.log;		     		#	Put somewhere better
my $debug		=	1;						#	To enable SMTP session debugging to logfile

This is the commangs.cfg file:

define command{
	command_name	service-notify-by-email
	command_line	$USER1$/send_mail.pl -n "SERVICE $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$" -h
"$HOSTNAME$" -s "$SERVICESTATE$" -a "$HOSTADDRESS$" -i "$SERVICEDESC$ -
$SERVICEOUTPUT$ - $SERVICECHECKCOMMAND$" -d "$LONGDATETIME$" -e
"$CONTACTEMAIL$"
	}

Also the contacts.cfg

define contact{
        contact_name                    nagiosadmin		; Short name of
user
	use				generic-contact		; Inherit default values from generic-contact
template (defined above)
        alias                           nagiosadmin		; Full name of user
	host_notification_commands	host-notify-by-email
	service_notification_commands	service-notify-by-email

        email                           jonathan.williams at us.g4s.com	;
<<***** CHANGE THIS TO YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ******
        }

efine contactgroup{
        contactgroup_name       admins
        alias                   Nagios Administrators
        members                 nagiosadmin
        }

These are all the variables I can think of.  Something must still be
amiss or the perl is not working or something?  I am not sure.
