The link is generated from the XYMONWEBHOST environment variable.  You
could change it in your xymonserver.cfg file, but that will mean all of
your browser links will change also.  This may not be desirable.

An alternative might be to inject a stream editor between Xymon and your
mail client.  For instance, set MAIL like so:

MAIL="sed 's/narfy/192.168.1.40/' | $MAILC -s"

I haven't tested this, but many have used a similar technique for modifying
their email alerts, for example, stripping newlines, as mentioned here:
