Use of customized macro in CONTACT definition

[Alex Griffin]

You said you tried to echo “EMAILID=$NAGIOS__CONTACTEMAILID”, but 
echoing this string will not set EMAILID to the value of 
$NAGIOS_CONTACTEMAILID. You should set EMAILID, and then echo it afterwards.

Otherwise, looking over your settings they seem to be fine.
