 From a previous e-mail --

define contact {
         contact_name                    nagios
         use                             generic-contact
         alias                           nagios
         email                           nagios at localhost
}

define contact {
         name                            generic
         host_notification_period        24din2_7din7
         service_notification_period     24din2_7din7
         host_notification_options       d,u,r,n,f
         service_notification_options    u,c,w,r,n,f
         host_notification_commands      notify-host-by-email
         service_notification_commands   notify-service-by-email
         register                        0
}

Your contact 'nagios' uses a template named 'generic-contact'. Do the  
host and service_notification_periods in that template include the  
time when the notification above was supposed to go out? The contact  
template you provided is named 'generic' not 'generic-contact' so  
there must be another template that needs to be looked at.
