Odd alerts behavior

[Kevin.Hanrahan at novainfo.com]

 I am getting some very odd alerts behavior. I have everything setup using
macros like this:

$AV=%sserver1|server2|server3|server4|server5

$SYSADMIN=kevin.hanrahan at domain.com

HOST=$AV
        MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red EXSERVICE=msgs,cpu REPEAT=30m RECOVERED
        MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=red SERVICE=cpu DURATION>20 REPEAT=30m
RECOVERED
        MAIL $SYSADMIN COLOR=purple REPEAT=1h RECOVERED

I have this repeated for multiple groups of servers. I have been adding one
server group in the HOST definitions one by one and all appeared fine. Also
checking the "Info" column for each server I saw the proper alerts
definition reflected there.


When I get to a certain amount of entries, (I haven't narrowed it down to
how many yet), it appears to double all entries for all servers so that I
now get TWO emails for each event. This is also reflected in the "Info" area
for all servers! 

Is there a diagnostic I can use to see if I am making a syntax or proceedure
error? This is driving me nuts!


Thanks
