We're logging now. I did finally get to see an NDR for the cell phone email addresses. Carriers are blocking the emails. Part of the issue is probably that the from address is root@localhost instead of the email address I supplied in the Email Settings that match our external domain.

I can close this thread and open a new one since I am technically receiving the emails to the phone.

That is good news that the logging is working now.

To change the from email address, all you would have to do is to edit the Command in XI and add the following to the command line. Of course putting in a valid email address.
If you have any further questions, post them here.

I was trying the -r flag and the -f flag but neither work working. Until just now! I was putting it at the end of the notify host by email command and on a whim I put the -r [email protected] directly following /bin/mail/. Now the from address is coming across correctly and all team members are getting the email to text notifications. Thanks for your help tgriep!!
