What you are describing really doesn't *solve* anything.
Consider what you've stated:
1. System has a problem, nagios notices it.
2. Page/email goes into a queue
3. time passes (15 minutes, as you stated)
4. regardless the system state, you get a page.
Why not just adjust the retry_check_interval and max_check_attempts in
your service definition to suit your application's needs? An external
"message delayer" isn't really helping you.
