<p class="MsoNormal">Several problems here.</p>

<div><ol type="1">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3;"><span>"IGNORE" is for a recipient. If you want to exclude a host it is "EXHOST=". </span>But having a "HOST=* EXHOST=*" does not make sense.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3;"><span>It is "RECOVERED" by itself, not "RECOVERED=1". </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-list: l1 level1 lfo3;"><span>Judging from the whitespace (the blank line), you want the first "HOST=*" to be a rule by itself. It is not, a rule must have a recipient (MAIL or SCRIPT). So all of what you have from this bit of alerts.cfg go into one rule, and probably ends up being interpreted as all "http" alerts going to the two mail addresses, and both of them receiving recovery notifications. Try running "xymoncmd xymond_alert --dump-config" and see how the parsed configuration looks. </span></li>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span> What I'm trying to accomplish is to stop the "I'm OK - recovered" messages. Those messages are irrelevant, so I want those filtered out. The problem though, is that the logic is completely off on this point. The first rule for some reason takes presedense, even though I have explicitly told it to only use that rule IF the host has recovered, no? </span></p>
