OK, I'm a little lost as to what this is trying to prove, but the updated 
settings are in place. I'm waiting for an alert to come through. 

Interesting discovery that I just noticed, within the WebUI. For every 
alert that comes in, I'm seeing two entries now. The new one that Dan had 
me update, which changes it to Alert level 1 (not sending an email). The 
other that I'm used to seeing is Alert level 2 (sending en email). So, it 
would appear that my local_rule is working, but it is not overwriting the 
default rules. This is very confusing. I've changed the local_rule back to 
level 2 along with the requested "<options>alert_by_email</options>" update.
