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.

Were they working before? What is in the mail log for the server? Are they stuck in the queue? Do you have a spam server that might be filtering them?
