Notifications not sent out from static configuration host.

I have included one host and contact definitions via static file but notifications are not sent out for this host. The nagiosql-registered hosts are able to send out notifications (email). The notifications log is showing that the notification went out. The contact's email address is a valid and routable email.

Please help.

contactgroup_name network_admins
alias network_admins

define contact {

}

Is this contact also an XI user?

Only XI users can use the xi_host_notification_handler and it will use the email and time-periods set for that user.
