Hi Kwame,
	If you determine that you can send email from the CentOS box on which
Nagios is running, then be sure that you have specified the contact
group or contacts option for the service or host that you want to be
notified for when something happens.

For example, to be notified by host specify either contact or a
contact_groups in the host definition:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#host

Or, if by service:

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html#service

Or, for things like serviceescalation, hostescalation,

http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/objectdefinitions.html

Cheers,
	- Hervey
