[pve-devel] [PATCH v4 pve-manager 1/4] vzdump: support 'notification-mode' parameter

[Lukas Wagner]

This parameter lets us choose between the 'legacy' notification
system (sendmail to some email addresses) and the 'new' notification
system (pub-sub based system with targets and matchers).
'auto' (default) will use the 'legacy' system if a mail address is
provided and the 'new' system if not.
This is allows users to opt-in/opt-out from the new notification
system, which might be a bit chatty by default.
