nagios & mail

[Natalie Aloi]

can anyone help me with this information? I really don't know anything about sendmail or mail in linux..do I need to set that up in order for nagios to be able to generate mail messages from nagios? So I see my connection is being refused by my local machine...but not sure what to do with this information.

Thanks again...
