[CentOS] mdmonitor not triggering program on fail events

What version of CentOS are you running?
Are you looking at root emails or having them forwarded to your local or
system account?

I have CentOS 5.1 running with Software RAID in place and I have a hard
drive failing.
I received an email first from SMART and then from MDADM that the drive was
going bad.
These occurred automatically.

I have root emails forwarded to my local account on the system and then I
check the email through pop via dovecot to get them.
