Now implemented in 2.1.8 (just released).  In addition to using the
Site.NotifyList page, an administrator can add entries to the
$NotifyList array, thus the following sends notifications
to alice at example.com and bob at example.com, even if the Site.NotifyList 
page doesn't exist.

    $EnableNotify = 1;                  
    $NotifyList[] = 'notify=alice at example.com';
    $NotifyList[] = 'notify=bob at example.com squelch=86400';

If the above is placed in local/farmconfig.php, then alice at example.com
and bob at example.com will receive notifications for all wikis in the 
farm.  (They will still receive separate notification emails for
each wiki, however.)

Does that help?
