This is a configuration problem with your mailer daemon; it sounds like you haven't properly configured it to be Internet friendly. How you fix it depends on what MTA (postfix, sendmail, exim, etc) you're using on the Nagios machine and is pretty much outside the scope of this list. All accounts on the machine will have this problem, not just the nagios account.

If you just want to fix it for your nagios user, there are several options that may work for you. Google result you may find useful (several ways discussed) --
