notifications not being sent on host down/unreachable

I included the template because the actual host definitions only include the
server specific information. I'm not overriding anything. For example...

define host{
        use             standard-host
        host_name       server1
        hostgroups      +servers
        alias           server1
        address         server1.domain.com
        }


The same goes for contacts everything else.
