I did not know msmtp in detail, but nagios did not need a full MTA or MDA - it just requires any MUA for sending mail like "mail", ssmtp, "mutt", pine or whatever too is able for sending mail from command line. Not shure why so many users are installing a large and complex MTA suite when they only need a little, small MUA - this mainly leads to many crap and problems within internet email networks.

But you can configure notification commands completely byself in another way too within nagios' commands config.

hth
good luck!


cheers,


Niels.
