I did nearly the same thing found here, except I provided multiple
characters:

Now I have set it like this, I will try it.

MAILC="tr -d \"\\001\\004\\015\" | mail"

Note that running the following command while logged into the same
machine over ssh strips out those three characters:

cat bad-characters | tr -d '\001\004\015' > filtered

The double backslashes in the xymon config weren't my idea (it was
suggested by the email thread I found), and I also tried it with single
backslashes.

The xymon service was restarted after every change.

Thanks,
