I assumed reply went to the list, should have done reply to all I suppose... I haven't found anything interesting in the /var/log/qmail dir, but I found the following in messages: Oct 25 05:40:21 mjollnir nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION: meinholz;frigga;www - TechRep HTTP;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;Connection refused by host This is funny, because I am able to mail to all address in my contacts.cfg via mutt and also by echo'ing into /var/qmail/bin/qmail-inject like TEST.deliver says to, so I don't know what is refusing, unless the printf (in the notify_by_email) thing is being refused for some reason... Is there a simple way to use printf to send an email from the command line to emulate what notify_by_email is actually doing? I could test that. I can't decipher what notify_by_email is actually doing and I'm obviously not a mail guru... Since I got the following in nagios.log: [1035474094] Warning: Attempting to execute the command "/usr/bin/printf "%b" "Service: NTP\nHost: odin\nAddress: 204.255.194.4\nState: OK\nInfo: OK: Time difference -0.033110 seconds\nDate: Thu Oct 24 11:41:34 EDT 2002" | -s "RECOVERY: Odin Sun E3000/NTP is OK" meinholz@imcingular.com" resulted in a return code of 127. Make sure the script or binary you are trying to execute actually exists... It seems to be guessing that a script or binary is missing. I checked that /usr/bin/printf exists, is there anything else on my system that could be missing? I don't have a telnet client installed for instance...
