I haven't read of this mentioned anywhere in the conference yet...but
I discovered this at a customer site.
In DECmcc 1.2.3, here is the scenario: You have an alarm rule which
when it fires it sends mail to a distribution list or more than one
person and these people reside on different nodes.
If ONE of the nodes that mail is being sent to cannot be reached, then
no one specified in the distribution list will receive mail.
Is this a known bug?? I don't know if this behavior holds for 1.3 or
not.

| 4751.1 | Bug? Well, maybe a feature | MOLAR::ROBERTS | Keith Roberts - Network Management Applications | Wed Mar 24 1993 08:02 | 14 |
If you manually send mail to a distribution list and someone on the list cannot be reached (node is down or no such user), then mail asks if you still want to send the mail .. you reply 'yes' or 'no' The Mail-Alarm procedure does not take this situation into account and so NO ONE gets the mail 8( A work around would be to use NMAIL, but NMAIL is for internal-use-only I think. Could you QAR Alarms with this problem - asking that the Mail-Alarm procedure handle this error condition (?) Thanks /keith | |||||
