Do you want *all* mail originating from scripts on this machine to have
a "work.de" address, or just mail originating from nagios?

Does this mail need to be sent over the Internet? If so, you will need a
valid envelope sender domain instead of localhost.localdomain. What type
of Internet connection do you have (dialup, always-on, static/dynamic?).

The configuration is best done in sendmail, which will then work for all
programs, not just "mail".
