All,

You can setup different notifications to do different actions.  In the
canned bootstrap notification, configure with the desired action; i.e.
smtpmail -h smtp_mail_server -s subject email_address.  You can then
create a customer notification, and mimic the events from the default
bootstrap and place yet another action i.e. printing or loging to file
etc.

The same is true for any notification, you can have multiple notifcations
that emulate the same events, and perform different actions, i.e.
Savegroup completions that email and print and even log to file.

Hope this helps.

Matthew Keane
