Postfix is probably easier, but for those used to sendmail, the default 
sendmail config in most linux distros is to listen on localhost only, so 
this won't violate your security policy. Setting up forwarding is pretty 
simple too. Just change the 'smarthost' line in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc. 
If you don't have that file, then 'yum install sendmail-cf'.

Add an alias to root on your mail hub for user nagios and you should be 
okay with your pager service.
