Notification Recovery Issue

As I've said, I notice in the logs that there is a recovery notification
going to my none contact group, then before that I see the notification sent
to the none contact group, and then 2 hours before that I see the
notification going to everyone that it is supposed to.  This has been
happening for awhile now.

Also, I don't believe your suggestion would do anything as the
documentations say:  "Note: Notifications about host or service recoveries
are only sent out if a notification was sent out for the original problem.
It doesn't make sense to get a recovery notification for something you never
knew was a problem."  Therefore why would a contact only get recovery
notifications.
