TXT Message a sell phone

[Joe Jackson]

Derek,
  That is pretty much what i though, but i guess i have something goofed up.
It will send mail enternal to our domain/exchange server, but nothing out
side of our domain, (i.e. Vtext.com). Is there a way inside Nagios to tell
it to send all out bound mail through our Exchange server?
