I'm sure there is a thread with this discussion somewhere, but I can't seem to find it, so sorry if it's a duplicate...
I have my site set to notify all users of a role if any users of that role post a forum topic. So if a "teacher" posts a forum topic, all "teachers" are notified.
HOWEVER, one "teacher" wishes not to be notified. Is there a simple what to notify all users of a role EXCEPT for username xyz?

double roles
I posted on another thread you answered, but the way I solved this was to basically clone each role (it's messy, I know), and then use Role Delegation module to expose that secondary role (and setting the rule to trigger off the secondary role, not the main one). That way users can control if they are receiving the emails while still being in the main role.
You can even name those secondary roles things like "Receive Teacher email newsletters" or something super descriptive, so that when they see it in their User settings, they know exactly what it is (even though it will show up under the "Roles" area).
Thanks!
I wasn't sure if there was an easier way, but this one makes sense. Thanks so much!
