Critical messages to phone

[Rudy Montemayor]

Nagios-users,

Thanks to everyone who replied. It seems that Nextel's service is not or
may not be doing some kind of security check or DNS lookup on the domain
that I have been using and Cingular is and it was rejecting the emails,
possibly a protection against spam. When I added the "-r address" option
to "mailx" with our valid company domain the emails went through just
fine.

PS: Sometimes my cingular text messages are delayed a bit - sometimes
even a couple of days!  And the old, unreceived messages tend to show up
all at once, so my phone starts doing:

while :
do
	echo '^G'
	echo '^G'
	sleep 1
done
