If you just want to notify a single user, you can do this:

  condor_submit_dag -append 'notify_user = <email>' <whatever>.dag

If you want to notify multiple users, I think you'd have to do something 
like add a final node to the DAG that would send the notification.

Well, you don't really "configure" a rescue DAG -- you get a rescue DAG
if your DAG fails because a node or nodes fail, or because the DAGMan
job itself is condor_rm'ed.  If you are running a fairly recent version
of DAGMan (7.1.0 or later), if a rescue DAG exists, it is run 
automatically when you run the "base" DAG.  With older versions you
need to manually run the rescue DAG (e.g., 'condor_submit_dag 
foo.dag.rescue').
