Interesting idea! You could do it with an ASP web template pretty easily. You can add the below code to an existing template, or add a new one with just this code, which checks to see if the template has been updated in the last 15 minutes: <% Dim intMinSinceLastCheck intMinSinceLastCheck = Date

The SMTP server you're using in SA probably refuses to forward messages to VZW.  Try checking the "Send Direct" mail in the ServersAlive SMTP setup screen.   Refusing to forward for other domains is a pretty common effort to stop spam.   Brent     Brent Oza
