Elevated alerts

[jmoseley at corp.xanadoo.com]

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.

Ok.  That helps.  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?
