[Nagios-users] Email Notification Problems -- I dont recieve any type of notifications

[Chris K. <cko...@th...>]

Hey Everyone,
	I've been working on Nagios 1.0b3 for awhile now and I have quite a few 
servers, etc being monitored.  I am having alot of trouble getting any type 
of notifications, whether it be email or pager.  Right now at this point, I 
am just trying to get a simple email sent.  Here are my current 
configurations of my *.cfg files.  HELP ME! :-)
