Hello folks,

It seems especially prevalent when MANY things are sent at once; if, for example, a central piece fails, and dependent pieces suddenly fail as well.

I'd probably recommend implementing some sort of parent/child system to reduce the number of messages you receive. Couple that with an acknowledgment syetem to re-page every so often to remind you, and it works out really well. That way you're not overloading the person receiving the alerts, and, especially with SMS, it costs less to send them.

Thanks,

Rick Kunkel
