I'm not sure I understand how sending my Email to my Internet gateway would
be of any help. My Internet gateway is not a device which can relay mail
to the Internet. Please let me know if I have misunderstood.
My plan is to use the nagios box as an smtp server. If this box was on the
Internet, I believe this would be moot. However, it is not and cannot be
on the Internet.
I'm trying to have the Email notifications going from the nagios box go out
as being from 'nagios at tds.net'. I know this will work out fine, if I can
figure out how to do it as I've sent Email from an smtp client in this
manner successfully.

Does your corporate network has a Firewall or similar gateway to the
internet. If you do have a FireWall then just route your Email to that
Firewall and use your Nagios box as SMTP server
This is what I do at my place

This is not really a possibility due to my scenario. The nagios box is not
on the Internet, and therefore, does not have an Internet DNS MX record. I
cannot relay off my corporate Email. This is also not desirable, as I
would
like to be able to monitor the corporate Email server and cannot receive
notifications via my cell phone Email account to which I am sending if the
Email server would be down.
What I can do is send an Email from a client on the nagios box to my isp's
smtp server as nagios at tds.net (my isp is tds). This Email is properly
routed to my cell phone Email address. I'm not sure of a better way to
handle this at this point.

Uh...
Try forcing your SMTP to send as "nagios at address" Where address is your
server's *real* IP address, or your server's DNS.
nagios at localhost is probably not a good idea.
localhost means "this computer" so maybe your ISP's mail server is thinking
"This didn't come from me!!" and throwing it away.
Just an idea.
