Seperate product email notifications

I am running v1.3.8a on a site. Is it possible to send the same order confirmation e-mail to 2 different addresses that could be based upon the product category?

We only have 2 categories (classes and events). It would be great if we can send one order confirmation e-mail for all products sold under this category of "classes" to one e-mail address, and the be able to send all order confirmation of the other category "events" to another e-mail address.

Can not select as it is all or none

BTW: if you are using 1.3.8a you really need to upgrade due to known vulnerabilities

Re: Seperate product email notifications

With more modern versions of Zen Cart, it's easy to write plugins to do what you're talking about. Several are discussed around the forums, including:
http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?155959-email-order-confirmation-to-third-party&p=889507#post889507
http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?178605-Where-can-I-hook-in-some-code-to-run-after-an-order-is-made
http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=291
Those concepts could be easily adapted to do a simple lookup on the product number, and send out the required additional notifications.
Of course, you'll need to upgrade to a suitable version of Zen Cart ... which you should be doing anyway.
