Sendmail as activated default by RHEL will listen on the loopback address only and send out email to any address you please to send it. The ony thing you might want to add is a smarthost to send it all to the central SMTP server. Nothing too complicated. The thing you do not know yourself can be found in a matter of seconds with a decent search engine. But configuring sendmail is not a Nagios job.
