[Building Sakai] Site Helper and E-Mail messages

[Branden Visser]

Hi all,

We currently add our support staff to the !site.helper realm with custom 
roles (roles that don't exist in course sites) in order to grant them 
ability to visit sites for support purposes. This is ideal for many 
reasons, particularly because this way they do not appear on the rosters 
for the sites, and the support user's Sakai experience is not slowed 
down because of such a large site membership.

One gotcha with this is that they still seem to receive emails from 
tools like Announcements and Resources, and so their email inboxes fill 
up very fast. Shouldn't these tools only be sending emails to people who 
are on the site roster (i.e., show up under Site Editor)?

Thanks,

Branden
