Nagios Support Forum

Do not send me the subject, but I have a blank subject.
what to eat and why no
Possibly that is why esmtp, but changed to mail -s "qqq" it does not send me e-mail, but the console echo "qq" | mail -s "qqq" <my mail> then sends
# 'notify-host-by-email' command definition
define command{
command_name notify-host-by-email
