Is there a way to define a RapidInformer connector that operates in Listening mode, but that does not processes the existing notification when it starts ? It would only process the new notifications that are raised after the connector is started.

NotificationReader already
NotificationReader already supports this feature. The flag is not exposed in the UI at this moment. For the time being, please do as follows:
- open your Smarts connector props file in RINF_HOME/connectors/RapidInformer directory with a text editor
- search for "TailMode". The default is set to false. Set it to true.
eg: RinfEventConnector.Reader.TailMode=true

This kind of modification of properties file provides the desired effect but not supported. Remember any update on the connector from the admin ui, will override the property.

Modifying the file would work as suggested above and is an option. The problem is as stated by Sezgin, the file would be overwritten if the connector is updated via the admin UI, therefore manual modification of the file has to be repeated if the connector is updated via the UI.
I'd suggest modifying the file as the short term workaround, and creating an enhancement request to move this configuration to the connector configuration in the admin UI.

I anticipate that the connector configuration will not change once the system is in production.
The root requirement is to avoid an email flood in case the RapidInformer engine is restarted.
