Hello Mark,
Yes according to BackupPC_sendEmail, it looks like only $user gets the
notification today...
Until that changes, here's a possible work-around for you. In my email
system, I can set the same alias to multiple recipients and they will
all receive messages sent to that alias address. So if you have three
users of a host "host27", maybe you can create an alias like
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", defined three times in order to distribute
messages to those users. Then configure that as the primary user (email
address).
Might help - it's a thought anyway. ~ Curt
