Hi Kris,

all filtering statements can be also used with an preceding EX.

e.g.:
| HOST=CloudBox-2**
|      MAIL username at email.com SERVICE=disk COLOR=red,purple DURATION>1h \
|      RECOVERED REPEAT=4h
|
| PAGE=CLOUDBOXES** EXHOST=CloudBox-2**
|      MAIL username at email.com COLOR=red,purple DURATION>1h RECOVERED \
|      REPEAT=30m*

You might also have a look at the STOP keyword, that should produce the 
behaviour you expected without it. STOP isn't the default for all alerting 
rules but IGNORE.

e.g.:
| HOST=CloudBox-2**
|      MAIL username at email.com SERVICE=disk COLOR=red,purple DURATION>1h \
|      RECOVERED REPEAT=4h STOP
|
| PAGE=CLOUDBOXES**
|      MAIL username at email.com COLOR=red,purple DURATION>1h RECOVERED \
|      REPEAT=30m*


For more information about this rules "man alerts.cfg" should be your friend. 
;-)

Kind regards,
	Lars
