RE: {bb} Notification questions regarding groups.

["Oktay, Alan F. *HS" <AFO8N@hscmail.mcc.virginia.edu>]

Its beginning to sink in now.  Instead of using groups within BB (via
pg-), you setup a group within sendmail.

I did want to use a pg- group internal to BB, but it does not seem to
"like" having an e-mail alias in the group.

Thanks for you help.  I understand now.

Uhm... I used a FQDN email?
I set up a sendmail alias on the same machine as what is my bb server,
so its was opspage@bigbrother.mydomain.com

And because I created a custom notification script called page, my rule
reads: *;hg-dev;*;;*;*;ext-page-opspage@bigbrother.mydomain.com:~10-120

It seems to want you to use pg-groupname like you are calling an
internal bb group, so if that's what you are intending, I would imagine
you need to use 
ext-pg-groupname as the email.

Did that make sense, or perhaps I am misunderstanding your question?

I tried.  However, BB seems to want a fully-qualified e-mail address.
This is what I received in our BBOUT log:

	Wed Jun  2 17:15:52 2004 bbd bbpage Unknown recipient
<xxxx-pager> - it may need to be prefixed with pg-   .

How did you overcome this?

Thanks...

Why not just set up regular sendmail aliases? That's what I did for all

Can you use an alias in a recipient group?
Can you use a recipient group with an external script?


Hey gang.

Have a working bb configuration and began working with groups today.  I
have two questions.

First, can you use groups with external scripts?  I was unable to get
this to work with the following in bbwarnrules:
	*;;conn;;1-5;0700-2100;ext-pager-pg-operations .

By just using "pg-operations", the paging worked.

Second, can you reference mail aliases?  I am trying to allow for more
message space and less recipient space in the acknowledgment area of the
bb2 page.  I was unable to get this to work within bbwarnsetup:
	pg-operations: xxxx-pager yyyy-pager  .

>From the command line, I am able to successfully send e-mail to those
aliases.

Thanks...
Alan
