RE: {bb} bbpage.c and recipient delays

[Jacob.Chacko@Ingenix.com]

Hi Phil,

Thanks for your reply.  I had actually had it set to RCPT, which
explains why it was dropping it.  I'm going to paste the related info
from the cfg file, for reference.  Thanks again.

# The "pagetype" token describes how the delay between should be
handled.
#
# RCPT - applicable on the recipient
#  The recipient (mail/page/sms) won't be
#  notified until the next "pagedelay"
#  regardless of event (host.service) error
#
# EVENT - applicable on the host.service combination (www.bb4.com|disk)
#  The recipient won't be notified on a specific
#  event (host.service) error until "pagedelay"
#  has expired. This will generate the most notifications
#
# HOST - applicable on the host that is in error
#  The recipient won't be notified on any
#  event error from the same HOST until "pagedelay" has expired.
#
# GROUP - applicable on the display GROUP
#  The recipient won't be notified on a specific
#  event within a bb-hosts group until "pagedelay"
#  has expired. Hosts that do not belong to any
#  group (defined before the first group/group-compress
#  directive in bb-hosts) are defined belonging to
#  the global-grp group
#
# NOTE:  As soon as an error event is resolved (returned to a color not
#               defined in "pagelevels" then the "pagedelay" is expired
#
# Scope: BBPAGER
# Reset: No

pagetype: RCPT  <-- this was my setting

I sounds like you have pagetype set to "HOST" in bbwarnsetup.cfg.
You could switch to "EVENT" to get all the messages, but that will
not queue them and deliver them later. Generally, most users would
prefer to be warned as soon as possible.

Cheers, Phil.
