Can you check if you can telnet to the machine from the Nagios machine. 
 
telnet machineIP 1250
 
Also if you change from the default port you need to put that in the command or it will try 1248.

This is not exactly true. MS Exchange doesn't care what ports it uses,
it just starts off at 1024 and keeps stealing ports upwards. If you want
to be sure of not getting caught in the Exchange trap, use a port in the
range 50000-65535.

What's the problem, and what ports does nmap tell you are open?
