None of that is needed. This one
$ALERTGROUP=user-490a14721d84@xymon.invalid user-0ea294303ceb@xymon.invalid user-85a97e0c328b@xymon.invalid
will work, assuming you use it like
HOST=*
MAIL $ALERTGROUP COLOR=red
Comma-delimited also works for some people, but that depends on your
"mail" program. Why? Because a definition like this
$ALERTGROUP=user-490a14721d84@xymon.invalid,user-0ea294303ceb@xymon.invalid,user-85a97e0c328b@xymon.invalid
The only reason I like to use space separated instead of comma separated
is such, space separated email addresses only shows itself in the To:
header and _not_ all the email addresses.
There could be two reasons why I like to have not all emails in the same
To: header.
1. If anyone one wants to reply they won't reply to all. Some MUA are
makes it easier to do that possible mistake.
2. I would not want my oncall email address to be visible to other
groups who requested to get email alerts as well.
My two cents.
