ah - I'd keep your notification process as simple as possible. You have two links in your notification chain that can break.
I also DO NOT use anything but the direct IP address of the mail server delivering the mail. (example: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) No chance for a DNS failure to stop your mail from getting through.
