[Xymon] alert using global variable instead of command configured in xymonserver.cfg

[Jesse Johnson]

After upgrade to 4.3.21 the global mail variable is being used instead of the custom command configured inside of xymonserver.cfg  

from xymoneserver.cfg:

# For the xymond_alert module
MAIL="sendmail -f XYMON -s"                             # Command used to send an e-mail with a subject
MAILC="sendmail -f XYMON "                              # Command used to send an e-mail with no subject



from xymond_alert:
