Have you configured correctly your mail services options in the settings ?

I really dont see how this is a fix. Ive been running thold for a while now and i have never had monitor installed. Its worked fine for quite a while but i just did the update to i and now it wont send out an email when a server goes down. It still sends e-mails when one of the processes im monitoring goes down but that is nothing major compaired to the whole server going down. I unpluged a server for a while and tried to get it to send an email. Thold reconizes that the server went down but it doesnt send the email to notify me that it did.

when i did the upgrade to cacti v. i The poller changed to cactid instead of cmd.php. Switched it back and it seams to be fine now. Thanks anyhow.
