Try changin the -f to -r:
Let us know if that works for you.

Are you trying to change your contact's email from [email protected] to [email protected], or you want to change the "from" email address? Can you show us the contact definition, and an actual email that was received by this contact?

The command already has the email specified, as $CONTACTEMAIL$. What you need to do is change that variable.

Take a look at /usr/local/nagios/etc/contacts.cfg, and change the email listed for 'nagiosadmin'. Then, run service nagios restart to reload your configuration files.

good morning.
I use sendmail and editing the sendmail configuration file is already solved by changing the domain. with nagios configuration files it has not been possible . thanks for the help

Just to confirm - are we good to mark this thread as resolved?
