The most accurate answer is that nagios doesn't use one and doesn't  
need to know anything about it.

Your notification commands probably use the /bin/mail(x) mail _client_  
to transmit notifications. Those programs then submit the  
notifications to the SMTP server running on localhost (sendmail,  
postfix, qmail, etc) for final delivery. If you are wanting to change  
the SMTP server that those use, you'll need to modify their  
configuration to smarthost to that other machine.

There's also a FAQ with some alternatives.
