<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=820395423-13062007>In the
hobbit-alerts.cfg file, can you group recipients using macros? The help
file only has examples for directives that use equal signs (e.g.,
HOST=%$MYHOSTS). The MAIL and SCRIPT directives have their first parameter
defined as "a recipient", which doesn't necessarily imply that they'll accept a
comma seperated list of recipients (although I expect they might well do
this).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
