I'm having trouble getting a similar problem resolved.  I want an
initial delay of 5 minutes.  I test every 2 minutes.  So if the test
fails at 5:00, it should set a timer.  The next test at 5:02 won't
alert.  Next test at 5:04 won't alert.  Next test at 5:06 will alert. 
At least that's how I understood it?

So I have all my alerts going to me:
*;;*;;*;*;shane.presley@gmail.com

But I want alerts (after a 5 minute delay) to go to a group:
hg-testers;;*;;*;*;pg-testers~5

The problem is, the moment a test fails, it fires off alerts to be me,
and to the pagegroup.  It seems to ignore the 5 minute delay.  I was
planning on downing a service, letting it e-mail me, bringing the
service back up, and the folks in pg-testers should never know (since
I recovered the failure within 5 mintues).  But they get the e-mail
right away.

Something I'm missing?  Oh, I am using bbgen, which I know will retest
more frequently when a service is down.  But if the pagedelay here is
based on minutes, that shouldn't matter?

Thanks,
Shane
