nagios 3.0.5 email notifications fail

[alex alex]

ok, I get the service and not the host email from dead.letter. My mistake.
Here's the host one:

>From nagios Fri Jan  9 16:12:31 2009
Return-Path: <nagios>
Received: (from nagios at localhost)
        by localhost.localdomain (8.14.1/8.14.1/Submit) id n09ECVcx011087
        for $; Fri, 9 Jan 2009 16:12:31 +0200
Date: Fri, 9 Jan 2009 16:12:31 +0200
From: nagios
Message-Id: <200901091412.n09ECVcx011087 at localhost.localdomain>
To: $
Subject: ** $ Host Alert: host1 is DOWN **

***** Nagios *****

Notification:



I will try to see the error in command. I already use a modified command

 define command {
        command_name                    notify-host-by-email
        command_line                       /usr/bin/printf "%b" "Host:
$HOSTNAME$\n $CONTACTEMAIL$\n" |cat >>/tmp/testfile
}


and I get in the log file just:

Host: host1
 $
Host: host1
 $
Host: host1
 $


So I guess that nagios is not getting right the  $CONTACTEMAIL$ macro
substitution.

I don't know exactly the inner works that means that if it's correct to
define a host and use a template for providing the contact group and from
the contact group nagios can extract the email addresses and put them in
$CONTACTEMAIL$

Also, the services are not notified also; the same happens (the email
sustituted from $CONTACTEMAIL$ seems to be $???).

Thank you,

Alex
