If I understand your configuration snippet correctly, then this is a 
configuration error. You shouldn't have rules with no recipients, like 
the first one you have shown here.

Your exclusion is wrong. It should be (notice the TIME setting):

HOST=test3 TIME=*:0315:0305
   MAIL test (at) example.com REPEAT=24h RECOVERED
   SCRIPT /usr/local/sendsms 0123456789 COLOR=red FORMAT=SMS REPEAT=24h RECOVERED
