I guess this is a follow-up question to this post:
http://lists.ee.ethz.ch/smokeping-users/msg01500.html

My understanding of this is that for this (excerpted) config:
=======================================
*** Alerts ***
to = tom at example.com
from = probe at example.com

[snip]

probe = FPing

menu = Top
title = Network Latency Grapher
remark = Welcome to the SmokePing Thingy

+ World

menu = World
title = Worldwide Connectivity

++ Chicago

menu = Chicago
title = Austin to Chicago


# this will email tom
+++ foo
menu = foo
title = foo
host = foo
probe = FPing
alerts = bigloss,someloss,startloss

# this will email tom and dick
+++ bar
menu = bar
title = bar
host = bar
probe = FPing
alerts = bigloss,someloss,startloss
alertee = dick at example.com


# this will email tom, dick and harry?
+++ baz
menu = baz
title = baz
host = baz
probe = FPing
alerts = bigloss,someloss,startloss
alertee = harry at example.com
=======================================

There is no way to have the "baz" section email JUST harry at example.com 
(in this example?).

What about this way, would this configuration JUST email Harry for "baz" 
alerts?:

=======================================
*** Alerts ***
to = /dev/null
from = probe at example.com

[snip]

probe = FPing

menu = Top
title = Network Latency Grapher
remark = Welcome to the SmokePing Thingy

+ World

menu = World
title = Worldwide Connectivity

++ Chicago_Tom
menu = Chicago
title = Austin to Chicago

# this will email just tom?
+++ foo
menu = foo
title = foo
host = foo
probe = FPing
alerts = bigloss,someloss,startloss
alertee = tom at example.com

++ Chicago_Dick
menu = Chicago
title = Austin to Chicago

# this will email just dick?
+++ bar
menu = bar
title = bar
host = bar
probe = FPing
alerts = bigloss,someloss,startloss
alertee = dick at example.com

++ Chicago_Harry
menu = Chicago
title = Austin to Chicago

# this will email just harry?
+++ baz
menu = baz
title = baz
host = baz
probe = FPing
alerts = bigloss,someloss,startloss
alertee = harry at example.com
=======================================

Thanks in advance,
James.
