Is that what you are looking for (granular e-mail alerting)? http://www.ossec.net/dcid/?p=75

That's a great new capability, but unless I can assign arbitrary
groups to arbitrary recipients it's not quite what I need. Let's
say Alice manages machine A and Bob manages  B, then Alice needs
to get A's alert messages and Bob gets B's; or if Bob manages both A & B, then Alice still gets A's but Bob gets A & B's.

I think you can achieve what you're trying to do by letting the alerts go to a local mailing list in stead of to one or more specific individual's e-mail address. Then you can add and remove members from the mailing list as much as you like without affecting the ossec configs. And the nice thing about a mailing list (e.g.: mailman) is that you can let it archive all alerts for reference purposes.

That sounds like a reasonable way of doing it. Thanks.
