The most straightforward thing to do is to write a custom
paging script.

Look in the docs; when you do that you have total control of
the
content. You can even write a script that decides on the
content based
on the recipient list.

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.
