Comma-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
ends up being passed as a command-line parameter to the $MAIL program. So if your mail-program understands a list of recipients separated by commas, it is actually more efficient because Hobbit only needs to run the mail program once with the comma-separated list of recipients.
Does hobbit understand that the comma delimited are actually individual email addresses for the purpose of deciding who to page? ie, say you had another rule which said don't page bob at domain.com, would it know to remove bob at domain.com from the rule?
I'm assuming it doesn't, as otherwise, I assume it would know they are individual addresses and pass them individually to mail....
