How do I get Feedback messages sent to more than one person? For some of our courses, we would like to have feedback sent to more than one person, as for team-taught courses. The idea is that the first person to get the message would be be the one to answer it. I tried adding another teacher by adding him to the class list and giving him teacher privileges, but that doesn't automatically put that person on the feedback list.

Where do I go? What file do I edit and how? While I am sure that I could eventually figure this out, I don't have the time right now, and I expect others will want to know this.

Edit the section

# If defined, feedbackRecipients overrides the list of recipients for feedback
# email. It's appropriate to set this in the course.conf for specific courses,
# but probably not in global.conf. if not defined, mail is sent to all
# professors and TAs for a given course
$mail{feedbackRecipients}    = [
    'gage@math.rochester.edu',
	#'prof1@yourserver.yourdomain.edu',
	#'prof2@yourserver.yourdomain.edu',
];

in global.conf

Feedback mail will be sent to all of the addresses listed in this variable.

If you comment out the entire setting, it will send mail to all professors and TAs in the course. (This is probably what you want.)

Try this:

# If defined, feedbackRecipients overrides the list of recipients for feedback
# email. It's appropriate to set this in the course.conf for specific courses,
# but probably not in global.conf. if not defined, mail is sent to all
# professors and TAs for a given course
#$mail{feedbackRecipients}    = [
#        'prof1@yourserver.yourdomain.edu',
#        'prof2@yourserver.yourdomain.edu',
#];

Let me correct my own post -- If you want to change the feedback Recipients for a single course (which is most often what you want to happen) then the code section should be placed in the course.conf file of the course in question (not global.conf). The entries in course.conf override any entries in global.conf.

# If defined, feedbackRecipients overrides the list of recipients for feedback
# email. It's appropriate to set this in the course.conf for specific courses,
# but probably not in global.conf. if not defined, mail is sent to all
# professors and TAs for a given course
$mail{feedbackRecipients}    = [
    'gage@math.rochester.edu',
        #'prof1@yourserver.yourdomain.edu',
        #'prof2@yourserver.yourdomain.edu',
];

in .../courseName/course.conf
