Nagios email not working
Sorry didnt know the rules. I will repost my problem and solution here. Although i not too sure whether is it the right solution.
My purpose of nagios is to send mail notification to localhost account user when there problem with the services or host.
I reset my whole installation of the ubuntu server and nagios again. During 2nd installation, i install postfix first instead of mailx. Because i realise when u apt-get install mailx it will automatically set the postfix configuration for u instead of guiding you through. However, when u apt-get install postfix a interface will appear on the screen.
I hope i helping more than mis-leading people here. Do feel free to correct me if there any mistakes in my solution because i am still new to nagios and ubuntu.
refer to the link below for how to setup ubuntu and nagios:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3...rt-ubuntu.html
P.S I apologise for my mistake
postfix
Code:

# line of that file to be used as the name. The Debian default
# is /etc/mailname.

biff = no

# information on enabling SSL in the smtp client.
