notify by mail does not work

[taiskorgon]

hello,

if the message or subject contains german umlauts (öäüß), nagios doesn't send the email. Hwo can I configure nagios to send mails with these special chars?

thanks in advance

You may have to acquire/write/configure a mail-sending plugin that'll take the output from Nagios and convert it into quoted-printable MIME to get the special characters to be accepted by the local MTA. Remember to sent your "Content-Type:" header properly. I am assuming that you've been able to send messages from Nagios that do *not* contain the umlauts.
