<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black">Not the alerts.log but the mail.log under /var/log (most likely). Try running the 'mailq' command to see if they are stuck in queue. Can successfully send a mail from the command-line (use something
like mailx)? If the mailq is showing lots of email or your server rejects you, it's likely a mailserver configuration issue.
