Email Alerting

Good Day!

So here's the scenario:

My superior wants to send alerts through an email relay server using smpts [port:465]
So the traffic flow would be:

Nagios Core >>>> Email Relay Server >>>> Exchange Server >>>> User

I already knew how to setup the Nagios core notifications and can see notification logs in nagios.log
My problem is how can I configure my postfix to send notifications to the email relay server?
He just gave me the account to sent to and thats it.
Is there some info I need to set this one up? Like the IP/name of smtp server or password of the email account?

This isn't really a Nagios question but how to configure postfix question.

It really depends on your system, but here is a guide I found Googling for your question
