You can do it with GroupName.php local customisation files in local/.
Set up each GroupName.php including the following, and any othe rGroup
customisations:

<?php if (!defined('PmWiki')) exit();

$group = FmtPageName('$Group', $pagename);
## Mail post to alert about changes by email
ini_set('SMTP','mail.example2.com');  # mail handler of your server
$EnableMailPosts=1;                   # 1 to enable mailposts
$MailPostsTo="name at example.com";  # where to send mail
$MailPostsDelay=0;                 # wait 0 min after initial post
$MailPostsSquelch=600;               # require 30+ minutes between mails
$MailPostsFrom = 'GroupName Wiki<nobody at example2.com>';  # from sender
$MailPostsMessage = "Recent wiki posts:\n"
  ."  ($ScriptUrl/$group/RecentChanges)\n\n\$MailPostsList\n";
$MailPostsFile = "$WorkDir/.$group.mailposts";


Change the appropriate addresses etc.
The last line will create an individual mailpost file for the group,
.GroupName.mailposts, instead of using one .mailposts file for the whole field.
The message refers to the groups RecentChanges page.

I have this running and working fine.
