Have you configured postfix or sendmail to relay to your mail server? If so check /var/log/mail log files and see why it's bouncing, if not then also check /var/log/messages to see if it's a general application configuration problem.

If you haven't configured postfix yet, speak to your mail administrator and find out what the requirements are for connecting to your SMTP relay. Start by using the command line mail utility to test that you are able to send mail from the server, then worry about Nagios.
