TXT Message a sell phone

[Derek J. Balling]

Well, if you're just trying to send it via e-mail, you can send it  
like any other e-mail message. Nagios basically injects its e-mail  
into its local MTA on that box, which is configured however you set  
it up (and that's a little outside the scope of this list, but  
relaying to offsite domains like Verizon should be a factory config  
pretty much).

cheers,
D
