Generics act differently. E-mail won't work. Also, generic

Work around. Create a real, meaning, not generic, "plumber" in the MS
Project Resource pool through MS Project (never add resources through
the PWA interface!) as a MS Project Server resource, meaning, don't
add a Windows account. Add e-mail for that account. That account
should get e-mail.
Another hint. Don't have just one "plumber" (whether generic or
not). Have "plumber1", "plumber2", etc. Use these generics or
psuedo-reals as if it is a real person. When you do a "Replace" in
MS Project, all "plumber1" will go to that real resource. However,
if you have one plumber generic or psuedo-real, you'll have 50
ga-zillion hours on that one resouce which would be a nightmare to
figure out how to break out the task hours...
That work for you? If not, please re-post...
Thanks,
My user community wants to be able to assign a generic - like
plumber and have the task assingmenet request go to the manager of
the plumbers.... It appears that we can add an email address for
each generic resoruce , but the system will not mail the task
information to the email account that is listed.... Is this a set up
issue if not can it be changed another way ?
Thanks
