It doesn't work for me.
I use collectd-4.3.1 with a patch from Florian (threshols-fix-4.3.1.diff
from 05.03.2008 on this list).

My config looks like this:

--snip--
Mode        "local"
Hostname    "myserver"
BaseDir     "/var/lib/collectd"
PIDFile     "/tmp/collectd.pid"
PluginDir   "/usr/lib/collectd"
TypesDB     "/usr/lib/collectd/types.db"
LoadPlugin logfile
LoadPlugin cpu
LoadPlugin df
LoadPlugin disk
LoadPlugin exec
LoadPlugin interface
LoadPlugin iptables
LoadPlugin load
LoadPlugin memory
LoadPlugin network
LoadPlugin ntpd
LoadPlugin processes
LoadPlugin rrdtool
LoadPlugin swap
LoadPlugin syslog
<Plugin logfile>
  LogLevel debug
  File stdout
</Plugin>
<Threshold>
  <Plugin "load">
    <Type "load">
      WarningMax    0.50
      FailureMax    1.30
      Persist false
    </Type>
  </Plugin>
</Threshold>
<Plugin exec>
  NotificationExec nobody "/usr/local/bin/collectd_notification.pl"
</Plugin>
--snip--

the script /usr/local/bin/collectd_notification.pl appends every line on
stdin to the attached file.

I made some load to 18.2 and then reduced it to 0.01.
During this time the lines in the attached file output was generated.
