The default notification command essentially shells out to your
command-line mail utility and sends the appropriate lines of data.
Have it instead shell to a custom script that determines if it's a real
host or the fake host and over-rides the contact address with the
appropriate blackberry address if it's the fake host. Unless you're
comfortable with shell/perl scripting go with the idea you already have. :)
