Anyone know if this is possible? I've dug through the code a little bit, but I'm not a programmer and I can't find any available configuration options.

Robert, I think you can configure a contact with the specific email
address, make it a contact (or member of the relevant contactgroup)
for the host or service, but most importantly in the contact
definition, have:

  host_notification_options n
or
  service_notification_options n

then the contact will still receive Acknowledgement notifications but
nothing else for that service or host.  Certainly this is what happens
if you specify "n" in the notification_options directive for a service
so I expect it's the same when you specify "n" in the contact
definition.  Give it a try anyway.

This is contrary to the documentation, so I wouldn't be too surprised
if it's 'fixed' in a future release, but if that's the case, I would
hope a "a" argument will be added to allow you to specify you want ack
notifications.  For the time being, give this a try.

hth,

Jim
