It is. Put an MOptions in you config file, and then put individual email
statements there. Like

Attributes = ..., Notify
MOptions Notify = Joe, Jack, Jim
Email Notify Joe = joe@fujicolor.com
Email Notify Jack = jack@fujicolor.com
Email Notify Jim = jim@fujicolor.com

What this does it give you a checkbox for each name. If the check box is
checked, then the corresponding email statement is executed. Note that the
email address does not have to correspond to the "Notify" value. You could also
use completely different names, like "MOptions Notify = Security, Police,
Admin", and then put some email address from specific people there.
