Actually, that raises an interesting tangential question.
Can/should your nagios server handle mail delivery to
many many people? Unless it's tuned for higher capacity
email delivery, I'd expect SMTP functions to negatively
impact nagios checks.
In other words, why not just use a single address that
points to a listserver that can better handle delivery
to larger groups of people.

If it ain't broke don't fix it, right? Anyway, one minor problem is the fact that in the nagios configuration, the members directive for a hostgroup can only support a certain number of entries, due to the fact that the members directive takes a comma delimited list of members and that list, it seems, can only be a maximum of 2000ish (I think, I don't recall off hand) characters. Like:

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
