Description Greg DeKoenigsberg 2002-10-25 14:12:22 UTC

Taken from an email to rhn-feedback:

Greetings,

I am a consultant for a company that makes use of RHN, and it would be very
helpful if you allowed more than one email address to be added for notification
emails. At present, my customer is forced to forward every update notification
to me manually. It would be much better if we could add a CC: address for
notifications.

Thanks

You can add a second e-mail quite easily - just go to the account details page:
https://rhn.redhat.com/network/my_account/my_details.pxt

And enter the second e-mail address after the first, seperated by a comma, like
so: jkomenda, joe

Undocumented feature ;-)

Comment 2 Greg DeKoenigsberg 2002-10-25 14:54:45 UTC

So the question now is, can we document this feature?  Or will placing
comma-delimited values in
the database screw things up in unforeseen ways (spam issues, foreign key
violations, etc.) ?

If this is an actual feature, then the bug is: document its use in the
interface.  

If use of this feature breaks something, then the bug is: break out "cc: this
address for notifications" as a separate feature.

Comment 3 Chip Turner 2002-10-25 15:18:15 UTC

this works only by coincidence and will likely change in the very, very near future.

please don't tell users to do this.  multiple notifications is a feature of
Enterprise (create additional users, give them perms over servers, etc)

Comment 4 Josef Komenda 2002-10-25 15:35:06 UTC

Could we run a query to see if we have any users currently doing this?

Comment 5 Leonid Mamtchenkov 2002-10-30 13:29:20 UTC

Hmm, what's wrong with aliases?

echo "alerts: root,sysadmin,consultant" >> /etc/aliases
