Hi Shane, Hi *
One idea that came up over conversation with Wilfried (IIRC) was to replace the e-mail addresses in all objects with references to contact objects. This would include notification addresses and the changed lines:
notify: mnt-nfy: upd-to: irt-nfy: ref-nfy: changed:
As I stated In an other Mail, this not only helps in this issue, but to me would seem as mor logical, than what we have at the moment.
In this case, we only get a single e-mail address. Now, this would still not solve the case of people just searching for '@' and sending e-mail, but it would help the problem.
Yes because it at least would only go to persons rols that have a direct responsibility for the object, not the ones who maintain the Database.
Notice that I've put the comments in separate blocks, to help people who parse one object at a time.
Yes, I overlooked that.
I've also swapped the order on the "changed:" attribute, also to ease parsing, since we will always have a date but maybe not always other information.
as long as the autmatical adding of the changed-date is handeled as well, it sound reasonable. So we might get to the ideal world(tm) after all? lG uk -- Ulrich Kiermayr Zentraler Informatikdienst der Universitaet Wien Network - Security - ACOnet-CERT Universitaetsstrasse 7, 1010 Wien, AT eMail: ulrich.kiermayr@univie.ac.at Tel: (+43 1) 4277 / 14104 PGP Key-ID: 0xA8D764D8 Fax: (+43 1) 4277 / 9140
