We use a separate IMAP/S account for each person with wakeup responsibilities. E.g. if my usual address is d...@randomstring.org, then my wakeup account is dsrwak...@randomstring.org. The IMAP server supports IDLE, so notifications are fast. Because it's a separate account, only alerting messages go to it, and it's easy to set a special loud alarm noise for the arrival of new email right there. This is secure, under our control, and generally more reliable than SMS. -dsr- _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
