Email notification stopped!!

[sachin holikar]

Hi,
   
  As always you are dead right. Tried sending mail by logging in as nagios user and it gave error saying cannot write to /tmp directory. Thats strange as currently I'm the only person working on this system. And saw that /tmp permissions have changed.
Changed the same and I could manage to send emails. 
   
  Thought it would help someone having similar issue.
   
  Thanks anyways.

Are you saying here that you see the notification attempt in nagios.log
but do not see any corresponding activity in /var/log/maillog? If so,
verify that you have not changed your notification commands and that
they work when run from the command line as the nagios user.

How can we know? Something was changed, what is it?
