I have done it this way (using clients with Windows NT):

define command{
        command_name    service-netsend
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 1.0b6 *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\n\nService: $SERVICEDESC$\nHost: $HOSTALIAS$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nState: $SERVICESTATE$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n\nAdditional Info:\n\n$OUTPUT$" | /usr/bin/smbclient -M $CONTACTEMAIL$ -U nagios
        }

define command{
        command_name    host-netsend
        command_line    /usr/bin/printf "%b" "***** Nagios 1.0b6 *****\n\nNotification Type: $NOTIFICATIONTYPE$\nHost: $HOSTNAME$\nState: $HOSTSTATE$\nAddress: $HOSTADDRESS$\nInfo: $OUTPUT$\n\nDate/Time: $DATETIME$\n" | /usr/bin/smbclient -M $CONTACTEMAIL$ -U Nagios
        }


define contact{
	....
        service_notification_commands   service-netsend
        host_notification_commands      host-netsend
        email                                     target_machine
        }

It only works with Machine names, not with Usernames, and sometimes
it seems to not deliver all messages (maybe a client problem).
