Unless totally misunderstand the issue this is more of a MTA
configuration issue than a Nagios issue.

Assuming sendmail for a moment is the MTA on the machine that you are
sending the pages from there is a setting in the sendmail.cf file called
"Masquerading as" that you can set to a domain to masquerade all email
addresses to. So, in the case of your return email address that I note
above you would set the line that starts with

DM

in sendmail.cf to read

DMmintcommerce.com

and restart sendmail. This way any email that gets sent from that
machine gets its return address re-written to be user at mintcommerce.com
which will silence the complaint from the blackberry server.

If you are using some other MTA then you have to follow suit with
whatever the configuration requirements are for that MTA.
