Nagios is correctly sending emails via the OS system utilities.  Now 
what you really want is for the OS to push them somewhere else.

I use SuSE Linux here and it  uses Postfix for email and I know how to 
forward email and setup Postfix when forwarding to another server to use 
smtp auth.  If you need a bit of advice on Postfix, let me know.
