while I hadn´t implemted such a setup now I would say try Zabbix if
you´re not stuck too much with Nagios. You can nearly add any function
you can think of. Actually I think you want to send the mail to an
external mail server? Otherwise Zabbix also has some tools to test if a
service is responding or not.
