I'm not sure if this applies to your system or not, but you might be  
able to get away with just adding the 'nagios' user to the correct  
group to be able to read the mail spool directory, possibly /var/spool/ 
mqueue.  Again, not sure if it'll work on your system, but it's  
something to check.

HTH,
