RE: {bb} Removing info or shortening messages

As a follow-up to this original request:

Switching to use briefrcpt for the destination addresses that weren't
supposed to be getting IP address information sent to them solved the
problem for me.

It drops some useful information, and basically forces the recipients to
look at the Big Brother server for history and details on the messages, but
that's acceptable versus sending too many details of information that we are
requested to keep protected.

Thanks for the assistance and suggestions though.  I do appreciate the
guidance.

There is a small caveat when using custom paging scripts. Scripts are not
treated as e-mail alerts, even when they do actually send out mail. As a
result, you may need to adjust the "pagelevelsmail"
token in bbwarnsetup.cfg when you start using scripts.

Cheers, Phil.
