color:#1F497D'>This is really strange, the Nagios server was restarted this
weekend and now Nagios isn’t sending any notifications out at all. The Nagios.log
shows numerous events, both Warnings and Critical but no notifications for any
of them. If it were simply a case of my email not being sent, I can
troubleshoot that. Given that Nagios seems simply to have decided not to send
notifications, I’m really stumped about where to start looking. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

don’t see any reason for Nagios not to send notifications at all, but it has
definitely decided not to do so for some reason.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

color:#1F497D'>I thought of that and had a quick look around. I logged into the
the MTA on Nagios via Telnet and was able to successfully send mail so I know
that mail is capable of being sent. Nagios is also having no trouble sending
some critical alerts. The weird thing for me is that if the messages were being
stopped at the MTA level or by the relaying server then I would think that
Nagios’ Notification log would still show that it attempted to send them. At
this point there is no indication that Nagios even tried to send out a
notification.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
