>From the fact that BBDISPLAY and BBPAGER are the same (internal)
machine and "status" reports are working while paging is not,
I'd deduce that the paging messages are actually being received.
Judging by those pages not being included in the "notifications.log"
file, it would appear that those paging requests are being filtered
out.

The first thing that I'd check is that the BBPAGER keyword is
correct in the bb-hosts file on the DMZ client. Then I'd
check the bbwarnsetup.cfg and bbwarnrules.cfg file on the
server (but I expect that you've already done that). The
next step would be to switch debugging on and recompile
"bbd", as per section 2.13 of the on-line FAQ (the "i" in
a circle icon on your main BB web page).

Cheers, Phil.
