[Building Sakai] Sakai email notifications

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Jaco,

It should be pretty simple to add some code that filters and doesn't send email to people with a given role in a site, perhaps coming from sakai.properties. The EmailService is what should ultimately be sending out emails (although there might be some rogue code out there). Add the filter in there.

cheers,
Steve

We created a helpdesk user role that we add to sites, but we do not want this user to receive any email notifications of any sort (only if the user has another role that the helpdesk role, will he still receive notifications).
