service notifications not being sent

[Pili Muñoz Gargallo]

I am not sure but i think i read notifications for services are not sent is
the host is down..
anyway, your options are critical and recovery, (are you calling down to
critical state?)
Are you sure you have your email server properly configured?

hope this help you
