Could you crosscheck the part in bold i think it should be /usr/bin/mail -s
(you could cd into /bin to see whether the file mail exist in there)
Also trust your contacts.cfg has been setup properly? if you try the above
ensure you restart nagios then try to trigger the notification by shutting
down a service you are monitoring. If it still does not work then post
output of cat /etc/nagios3/conf.d/contacts_nagios2.cfg (OR cat
/etc/nagios3/conf.d/contacts.cfg).
Cheers!
