Hi all,

My settngs were:

max_check_attempts = 10
retry_check_interval = 1.

I've changed my max_check_attempts to 1 as well, and that seems to
have fixed everything up.  I figured it was something simple.

Assaf:  I'm sending the mails from the local mailserver.  The pages
are also going out via email to our service provider.

Thanks for everyone's help!
