SMS notifications for specific services only

[Steve Loughran]

This should work:

create two notification groups

    admin-email (for normal email messages)
    admin-sms (for email-2-SMS alerts)

and when you configure the particular service, specify (or not) the
admin-sms contact group, depending on whether you want to receive an SMS for
that service.
