[Xymon] not receiving alerts

[Kris Springer]

I've attached a screen shot of the 'info' page of the host that's red.

Strangely enough the notifications.log file suddenly has some data in it
now that I stripped some options out of the alerts.cfg file.

Here's some of the notifications.log data.  I X'd out the IP that was
showing.

Thank you.
