munin

I am getting an error when trying to configure email alerts with Munin. I've tried with both version 1.4.7 and 2.0.6.

My config file:

contacts admin
contact.admin.command mail -s "Munin notification ${var:host}" [email protected]
contact.admin.always_send warning critical

[Production;server1]
    use_node_name yes
    address server1addr
    contacts enielson

The error,

2012/08/31 16:47:24 [WARNING] Missing configuration options for contact admin; skipping

How can I fix this?
