notify-service-by-email failure for *some* addresses?

[Kaegler, Mike]

I didn¹t get any responses on this message, but I was able to find a
workaround I¹ll share for anyone who comes across this in the future:
I created a local email alias (/etc/aliases) and had nagios send the message
to pager-bypass at localhost . Ba dum bum.
Its a hack, but it works.
If you anyone else runs into this or figures it out, I¹d love to hear from
you.
