I am having some difficulties with the STOP rules when an alert is triggered. I have the following rule in my hobbit-alert file.

HOST=somehost.syr.edu MAIL ctbeers at syr.edu REPEAT=30m RECOVERED STOP MAIL pager_number at archwireless.net REPEAT=15m FORMAT=SMS RECOVERED STOP

My understanding is that the alert module should alert me and the pager when the alert triggers. However, it appears that when the alert module encounters the STOP keyword it stop processing the entire rule (instead of stopping only if the recipient has already been alerted).

Is this intended and if so how do I accomplish alerting two users for alert rules?

Note: I was running beta6 when this problem occurred. I have updated to 4.0.1 with the eventlog patch, so maybe its fixed there.
