If the email address begins with a number, then use $CONTACTPAGER$ string. I don't know exactly where those variables are defined, but when sending email to an address that begins with a number (or perhaps contains an all-numeric string before the @), I've found that the notification is not sent if using a command definition that uses CONTACTEMAIL.
In the contacts config, use command definitions that have CONTACTEMAIL when emailing a 'normal' email address. Use CONTACTPAGER when emailing a phone or pager email address where the user string is numeric. I'm sure the difference is explained in the documentation or mailling list archives.

I'll replace the @MAIL_PROG@ with /bin/mail. Then where is $CONTACTEMAIL$ defined, so I can add a new variable which I think will be $CONTACTPAGER$, to replace the $CONTACTEMAIL$ in the command definitions? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
