This depends completely on how your Nagios installation is configured.
Somewhere in there your command(s) to send email notification should be
defined, and somewhere else you'll find the command that actually does
the mailing.  There's a good chance a file search for "mail" would be 
your friend here.

As long as your webserver can read the directories, you're fine.
However, a 500 error from a webserver does not usually indicate a
permission error; it's usually an indicator that you're trying to run a
script that's failing.  Your webserver errer logs would be a good place
to look for more details.
