Have you set us Postfix or other such mail agent to actually send the mail?

Subject: [Nagios-users] Receiving mail alert for failed services
Hi All ,
I was trying to configure to send alert mails for failed services in Nagios
. For this , I tried the following configuration
=====
/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/contacts.cfg
define contact{
contact_name zamanl ; Short name
of user
use generic-contact ;
Inherit default values from generic-contact template (defined above)
alias Nagios Admin ;
Full name of user
email za...@server.example.com
<mailto:za...@server.example.com> ; <<***** CHANGE THIS TO YOUR
EMAIL ADDRESS ******
}
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name nagiosadmins
alias Nagios Administrators
members zamanl
}
Restarted nagios service without any errors and it looks like notifications
are generated for failed services by looking at system log file
[@server ~]# tail -f /var/log/messages
Apr 17 11:26:52 server nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION: zamanl;mgthost;Total
Processes;CRITICAL;notify-service-by-email;PROCS CRITICAL: 312 processes
Apr 17 11:27:22 server nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION: zamanl;host1;Total
Processes;CRITICAL;notify-service-by-email;PROCS CRITICAL: 313 processes
Apr 17 11:27:22 server nagios: SERVICE NOTIFICATION: zamanl;host2;Total
Processes;CRITICAL;notify-service-by-email;PROCS CRITICAL: 313 processes
But I have not received any mail messages for the notification .
[@server ~]$ id
uid=501(zaman) gid=501(zaman) groups=501(zaman)
[@server ~]# mail
No mail for zaman
[@server ~]# hostname
server.example.com
Kindly suggest what needs to be done to receive alert mail for failed
services ?
Any help will be highly appreciated .
Thanks
Zaman
