If I use "wich mail" I do get this => nguser@Nagios:~$ which mail
/usr/bin/mail
1: Could anybody tell me how I'm able to check why it doesn't work ?
2: Is there anybody who could tell me if I missing something in my contacts or commands definitions
3: My send sms do work it is only my mail notification which is not working
As I wrote it did work and I did get the mail notifications from the mail users at Nagios in my Inbox Outlook
