You can make a default for notify_user in your condor_config file (or 
condor_config.local) by appending this to the bottom of the file:

  NotifyUser = "someone@xxxxxxxxxxxxx"
  SUBMIT_ATTRS = $(SUBMIT_ATTRS) NotifyUser

Note that the user can still override the address you set in the 
condor_config by specifying NotifyUser (or notify_user) in the job 
submit file.

Hope the above helps,
