We've traditionally used mobile phone email addresses for system notifications, but over the past 6-12 months, it seems to have become increasingly sketchy.
Rick, I've had good results with vzw.blackberry.net (Verizon Wireless + Blackberry) in the Washington DC area. A secondary monitoring server outside the network will send a message if the network problem is serious enough to break the path from within the network to vzw.blackberry.net. I also have a network monitoring system that's smart enough to track dependencies so it doesn't page me about the http service being down if it has already paged me because it can't ping the router that the host sits behind. As a result, I very rarely get a notification flood. It also keeps notifying until I ack it so if the first message doesn't go through, the second does. Regards, Bill Herrin -- William D.
