I have an automatic process running on a Unix server which occasionally fails. When it does (I wrote a script to detect the failure) it sends me an email. During the day, that works great - after hours/weekends, it's not quite so great.
We've been trying to get Outlook 2002, via a rule, to simply forward the email to my pager (the Unix box isn't Internet aware so it can't send it directly) but the message it forwards never arrives at the pager site. We even set up a separate account for my pager and, while I can send myself a page from within Outlook directly, the messages from the Unix box never cause my pager to annoy me.
We even tried to figure out how to get Outlook to send me a separate email, originating from within Outlook and not a forwarded Unix message, when this particular message arrives but nothing has worked.
Has anyone else had this or a similar problem? Is there any way I can verify that the forwarded message (to my pager) ever actually left Outlook?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts/comments/suggestions or one way tickets to Kauai ...
