Re: Custom balance alert notifications

[Graham Percival <gperciva@tarsnap.com>]

At the moment, all Canadians receive invoices (which include balance
notifications) once a month.  Non-Canadians can receive them upon
request (although a physical mailing address is required for the
invoice).
https://www.tarsnap.com/faq.html#monthly-invoices

I know that this isn't exactly what you're requesting, but at least the
monthly invoices are something that's already in place.

(Albeit at the cost of sending Colin an email, and providing a physical
mailing address.  Also, a single item halfway down the FAQ page might
not be the easiest way to discover this option.)

Cheers,
- Graham
