disabling e-mail notifications for nagiosadmin account

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there --

We are running Nagios 3.3.1, and have a two contacts set up for the e-mail
notifications. One of the contacts
is the nagiosadmin user. This is the user account that was first setup during
the initial installation of the application.
When the account was set up it was configured with the e-mail address of one of
our network administrators.

A second account was set up that was based on the administrator's login account
along with his e-mail address.
When notifications are sent out, he gets two notifications for each event due to
both contacts having the same
e-mail address.

We want to prevent the e-mail notifications being sent to the nagiosadmin
account with the administrator getting
only one notification per event as the intended result. One thought was to set
up a dummy account on the Nagios
server as a solution, and another idea was to set up a flag in the contacts.cfg
file, but we are not sure what the
would be the correct syntax for the latter.

What would be the best solution here?

Thanks.
