will work, assuming you use it like
HOST=* MAIL $ALERTGROUP COLOR=redComma-delimited also works for some people, but that depends on your "mail" program. Why? Because a definition like this
$ALERTGROUP=kevin at domain.com,bob at domain.com,joe at domain.com
The only reason I like to use space separated instead of comma separated is such, space separated email addresses only shows itself in the To: header and _not_ all the email addresses.
There could be two reasons why I like to have not all emails in the same To: header.
- If anyone one wants to reply they won't reply to all. Some MUA are makes it easier to do that possible mistake.
- I would not want my oncall email address to be visible to other groups who requested to get email alerts as well.
My two cents.
