Not sure if this directly relates to your problem, but you don't need 
"nagiosadmin" in your aliases file, as the e-mail address that will be 
delivered to is "admin at domain.com", and the e-mail will come "from" your 
Nagios shell user at your machine domain (e.g. nagios at nagiosserver.domain.com)

How do you know the error is at the "email" line?
If "/path/to/nagios/bin/nagios -v /path/to/nagios.cfg" (substitute paths 
as required) reports your configuration is correct, then the problem 
more than likely lies within your command definitions.
