What?  One that works well, needs replacing with something new, to bring
about a new set of problems?

What alternative do you think would be better to pass log messages onto
the user(s)?  It has to be something that works when the user isn't
currently logged on, as well as when they're on.  Keeps the messages
until the user goes to look for them.

Using email is quite convenient for all those purposes, and makes it
very easy to forward messages onto someone else, should you need a
second set of eyes to check something out.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.  I
read messages from the public lists.
