forwarder. This has been working great so far. The only issue I
am seeing is, outside email addresses such as a cell number @<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://vtext.com">vtext.com</a> is
having messages sent to it several times a second; until Verizon
finally rate limits the messages. This in turn queues up the
messages, and a large number come through again. This does NOT
happen with any internal email addresses. If I check the mail
log, I can see Nagios sending the message several times a second
to only outside email addresses and only once to internal email
addresses.
