Nagios flooding outside email addresses

I have sendmail setup to use our smtp server as a forwarder. This has been
working great so far. The only issue I am seeing is, outside email
addresses such as a cell number @vtext.com is having messages sent to it
several times a second; until Verizon finally rate limits the messages.
This in turn queues up the messages, and a large number come through
again. This does NOT happen with any internal email addresses. If I check
the mail log, I can see Nagios sending the message several times a second
to only outside email addresses and only once to internal email addresses.
I am not sure what the issue is.
I will give you a sample of my config
define contact{
name generic-contact ; The name
of this contact template
service_notification_period 24x7 ; service
notifications can be sent anytime
host_notification_period 24x7 ; host
notifications can be sent anytime
service_notification_options w,u,c,r,f,s ; send
notifications for all service states, flapping events, and scheduled
downtime events
host_notification_options d,u,r,f,s ; send
notifications for all host states, flapping events, and scheduled downtime
events
service_notification_commands notify-service-by-email ; send
service notifications via email
host_notification_commands notify-host-by-email ; send host
notifications via email
register 0 ; DONT
REGISTER THIS DEFINITION - ITS NOT A REAL CONTACT, JUST A TEMPLATE!
}
define contact{
contact_name guys-cell
use generic-contact
alias John Doe
email xxx8777xxx at vtext.com
}
define contactgroup{
contactgroup_name network-admin
alias Switches and networking admins
members guys-cell
}
Thanks
