Hi, unfortunately that is not enough info for anyone here to work from - Try viewing *all* the "received by" headers of the final email, and discern where the time lag is occurring. It sounds like a sendmail queue issue (or whatever MTA's you are using), then fix the offending mail server/relay causing the delay(s).

The issue is that i am getting the email notifications very late for any problem. Is it the nagios problem or my sendmail server both running on the same linux server FC 14. Also i have setup my sendmail server to relay to other corporate mail server which actually sends mail notifications. I am not able to find the root cause of this issue. The issue can be one of the following Nagios problem, My Sendmail problem, Corporate email server problem. what do u say :) For your reference a delayed notification is pasted here:- FW: ** Network Host PROBLEM Alert: Cisco-CH_12_JPH_R5_ASC_01 is DOWN ** noc-as-...@mahindra.com [noc-as-...@mahindra.com] Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 8:01 PM To: Manish_Kmr ------------------------------------------- From: nagios@localhost6.localdomain6[SMTP:NAGIOS@LOCALHOST6.LOCALDOMAIN6] Sent: Tuesday, June 28, 2011 9:41:00 AM To: NOC-AS-CHK - MVML Subject: ** Network Host PROBLEM Alert: Cisco-CH_12_JPH_R5_ASC_01 is DOWN ** Auto forwarded by a Rule ***** Nagios ***** Notification Type: PROBLEM Host: Cisco-CH_12_JPH_R5_ASC_01 State: DOWN Address: 10.192.63.15 Info: CRITICAL - Time to live exceeded (10.192.63.15) Date/Time: Tue Jun 28 09:41:00 IST 2011 -- Thanks Manish Kumar http://in.linkedin.com/in/manishkumar85 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
