Subject: alarm handler confusion (and solution)

Hi all,

just went through a bit of confusion with the alarm handler and
thought I'd pass it on:

once we got the first one working I copied alarm handler config
files and edited them by hand (for a few years now). As we just got
a new instrument we wanted to set up alarms (email by list-forwarding)
for this one too and I set up the limits, etc. as well as the
config files.
For some reason which escaped me the mail didn't work, the address list
got cut off somewhere by something (there are several solaris machines 
involved, and a somewhat complicated system of centralized mail 
forwarding).
It appears that the cut-off in the addressing is not in the mail 
forwarding but in the alarm handler reading its configuration file.
What is the limit on the line length in alarm handler config files?

The problem in finding this was of course that all stages of the 
forwarding start with the same 5 characters - my user ID.

Aloha,

Maren
