FEATURE REQUEST: "monit reload" mails should be sent to the old e-mail address, too

[Marcus Mülbüsch]

Hello,

   when I change alert e-mail addresses in /etc/monitrc and then reload 
monit all the new addresses get an e-mail; but not the old ones.

   Now, one of the features of monit is that it compares checksums of a 
lot of configuration files; so I will get informed if someone changes 
those files.

   While I realize that someone who gains root-access will have a lot 
of options to screw the server, and monit is not (per se) an IDS, I 
would expect that I get a mail when monit is killed.

   Unfortunately it is now easiest to change (or remove) alert 
addresses, issue a reload and then do whatever you want without monit 
sending a warning e-mail.

   It would be a bit more difficult if monit sends the email before 
re-reading the configuration, so that monit at least tries to inform the 
former alert message receivers.

   Again, it still is possible to circumvent monit alerting you, so 
monit is not an IDS. Still, it's a small improvement.
