The STOP condition triggers when it is used - i.e. it will only have effect for "conn" tests, since it is inside a rule that has "SERVICE=conn". But if you need to alert person2 and person3 of "conn" problems, then you cannot use the STOP keyword.
Another way to avoid the duplicate alerts might be to restrict your general rule to not include the two special hosts:
HOST=* EXHOST=atscm,atcsc SERVICE=conn MAIL sbrehm at titan.com COLOR=red
HOST=%atscm MAIL sbrehm at titan.com COLOR=red MAIL person2 at titan.com COLOR=red
HOST=%atscs MAIL sbrehm at titan.com COLOR=red MAIL person3 at titan.com COLOR=red
So ... several ways of doing the same thing. You choose which one matches your thinking best :-)
