If nagios is sending okay to an internal exchange address, then sendmail
on the nagios box is already working fine, which would be expected in an
out of the box install of sendmail. The problem is that exchange isn't
allowing the nagios box to relay. You have to tell exchange that it
should allow the nagios box to relay. If you don't know how to do that,
perhaps you should just create an alias on exchange that goes to your
external notification address.
