Alert questions

1. Is it possible to send alerts through Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007? This would be the same as current MSN Messenger, but just sent through our internal OCS server to one or multiple recipients.
2. Is it possible to define multiple SMTP alert servers. E.g., use both internal and external SMTP server. Or define two external SMTP servers.
3. Is it possible to custom Alerts destinations, e.g., alerts are sent to "c:alerteralert.exe $1 $2 $3" where $1 is alert group, $2 is machine, $3 is error, etc. These seem to be possible for single Alerts, but not generally available, e.g., for a Team, so that I wouldn't have to define these on every monitor.

2. Only one SMTP server can be defined
3. Team based alerting is available. You just link monitors to a team and define in a team who has to be alerted, how and when.
Regarding 3. In Team settings I can define Email, SMS, Voice phone, Network message and MS message notifications. Why cannot I define all the other ways of notifications that I can define in a single monitor, under "Additional Alerting Options" section. Such as, "Execute a application", "Perform HTTP Get"?
And still, please consider all these as enhancement requests as I'm currently evaluating your product.
Execute an application or performing a HTTP GET call are alerts sent to another system and are not linked to a user. Default values can be set. By performing a find & replace in the serverscheck.conf you can quickly update settings without having to go through each monitor individually
