Multiple Issues with 4.3.17 install additional

[Neal, Jonathan W]

The other things that seems to be happening is that all alerts are going to all possible recipients.  The info panel for most all of the systems I checked look like this:

conn	
wes.neal at one.verizon.com (R)	-	-	1h 	-	purple,red
page-ems-team1 at one.verizon.com	10m 1s 	-	2d 	-	purple,red
wes.neal at one.verizon.com(R)	-	-	1h 	-	purple,red
page-ems-team1 at one.verizon.com	10m 1s 	-	2d 	-	purple,red
page_ems_team3 at lists.verizonbusiness.com	10m 1s 	-	2d 	-	purple,red
page_ems_team3 at lists.verizonbusiness.com	10m 1s 	-	2d 	-	purple,red
page_ems_team3 at lists.verizonbusiness.com	10m 1s 	-	2d 	-	purple,red
page_ems_team3 at lists.verizonbusiness.com

The rules which I copied over from my old system look like this though for this system in particular.

HOST=$aspmdpbulk
        MAIL $ems1 REPEAT=60m RECOVERED
        MAIL page-ems-team1 at one.verizon.com SERVICE=conn DURATION>10 REPEAT=2d

All of my rules in alerts.cfg pretty much look like the above.  An email for everything and a page for connectivity.   I have checked the file for white space, typos etc.  I do not see any.  Is there script or something out there that will parse the *.cfg files for errors?
