I think it's just a matter of trying it. Not sure when I will have the time.

Well, I didn't find a default field for setting it and I added one of my own. I think that you can use OVH API without that email informed but I prefer myself to be informed about fencing. So, I think that rather than writing in a file somewhere in the filesystem, it would be more useful to write it in cluster.conf.

  I don't think if I understood what you meant. You were thinking that maybe email should be a cluster wide settings instead of a fence agent wide setting... but then you thought that the latter was better idea?

Ok. I'll contribute back to it if I can when it's public.

Thank you!
