[Xymon] alert e-mail scripts

[KING, KEVIN]

Xymoners,

I am running 4.3.28 xymon. I am working on a newer server that I want to use a custom script for the e-mail. I have a couple of old e-mail scripts that I used in the past. They are just simple scripts to test all your variables pass and it sends a mail. I use this to test and build the new script I want. Ok so nothing is working like it should. The sript will run from command line but when I run it from the alert.cfg file, it just puts "no mail" in the log. It is like it is trying to read mail and not send it.

I have not gone back and looked to see if mail scripts work differently. I even searched the archive mail for some sample scripts.
Here is the line from alerts.cfg
CLASS=%MP  COLOR=red
        MAIL ltxxxx at xxx jlxxxx at xxx kkxxxx at xxx REPEAT=1d TIME=*:0730:2100
        SCRIPT /usr/local/xymon/server/ext/mail_generic.ksh kkxxxx at xxx

Here is my script (sample from mail archives):

#!/usr/bin/ksh
RECIPIENT=$1
LOGGROUP=$2
CALL_LEVEL=medium
[ "$BBCOLORLEVEL" = "RED" ] && CALL_LEVEL=high

echo '
Hi $RECIPIENT

Please log a $CALL_LEVEL call to $LOGGROUP, with the subject
\"$BBHOSTNAME - $BBSVCNAME problem - Please Investigate.\"
Please include this link in the service call ticket for more information
$(echo $BBALPHAMSG | grep http)

Thanks
    Monitoring.
