I think not, but there is no one way ;-) - don't really know Postfix.

What are you sending test mails with? If I remember correctly, mail wasn't 
installed with Ubuntu server (6.10)by default, I had to apt-get install 
mailx (I think) package or the default command for sending mail (printf 
piped into mail) obviously doesn't work. Try mail from a shell prompt, if 
you can get that working restore the default mail command into Nagios

NB - I used ssmtp on Ubuntu rather than Postfix, but as Patrick pointed 
out if you can send mail somehow your MTA is almost certainly fine, its 
the mailing component at fault.
