This can be avoided by using multiple notification methods, assuming the methods do not use the same underlying protocols. That is, sending notifications via e-mail and to a pager, assuming the pager alert does not also go out over e-mail. Additionally, I like to have utilities poke at a status page in the event that notifications have been disabled, but the status page is still working. _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
