For example, a message group rule contains three members, rule A, rule B, and rule C.
Rule A has a trigger life of 1 minute, rule B has a trigger life of 30 seconds, and rule C
has a trigger life of 15 seconds. The following can occur (Figure 5-4):

A message triggers rule A. Twenty seconds later, a second message triggers rule
B. Another twenty seconds later, a third message triggers rule C. Because rule C
is triggered within the trigger lives of rules A and B, the message group rule is
triggered.
