Were you running it as user nagios?
Can you post the command definitions you are using?

Now edit the nagios/etc/objects/command.cfg and replace the [notify-service-by-email] block with the following Block...

define command{
command_name notify-service-by-email
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/nagios_service_mail "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$HOSTALIAS$" "$HOSTSTATE$" "$HOSTADDRESS$" "$SERVICEOUTPUT$" "$SHORTDATETIME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$CONTACTEMAIL$" "$SERVICEDURATIONSEC$" "$SERVICEEXECUTIONTIME$" "$TOTALSERVICESWARNING$" "$TOTALSERVICESCRITICAL$" "$TOTALSERVICESUNKNOWN$" "$LASTSERVICEOK$" "$LASTSERVICEWARNING$" "$SERVICENOTIFICATIONNUMBER$"
}

Also replace the [notify-host-by-email] code block with this block below...

define command{
command_name notify-host-by-email
command_line /usr/local/nagios/libexec/nagios_host_mail "$NOTIFICATIONTYPE$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$HOSTALIAS$" "$HOSTSTATE$" "$HOSTADDRESS$" "$HOSTOUTPUT$" "$SHORTDATETIME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" "$SERVICESTATE$" "$CONTACTEMAIL$" "$TOTALHOSTSUP$" "$TOTALHOSTSDOWN$"
}

When you ran the commands in the terminal and received the emails successfully, were you running the commands as the nagios user or as root? You will need to run them as nagios for a real test of their functionality.
