Might need to modify the Environment variable PATH, or make a shell script 
out of it.

The script would be something as simple as
--START--
#!/bin/sh
echo "Network is down" | mail -s "MRTG Warning" ray at mydomain.com
--END--

without the --START-- and --END--
then chmod the script to 755 (easiest).  Put the script where ever you 
want, like in the dir MRTG was installed in (usually /usr/local/mrtg/) so 
then you could call the script via
ThreshProgI[...]: /usr/local/mrtg/notify.sh
or what ever you called the script.
