Your second rule won't do what you want; IGNORE and MAIL are both "recipients" of the matched rule. The IGNORE recipient causes rule processing to stop: "when the IGNORE recipient is matched, no more recipients will be considered". I don't use RECOVERED but I think you want something like

RECOVERED EXSERVICE=msgs MAIL $ADMIN
I think I was able to work this out with the awesome info you provided:

COLOR=red,purple SERVICE=msgs
 ??????? MAIL $ADMINMAIL

COLOR=red,purple EXSERVICE=msgs
 ??????? MAIL $ADMINMAIL RECOVERED

Now on the info page, all the tests only have one line in the recipient column, and they all have (R) except msgs.? I think this is precisely what I am aiming for.? At the moment I do not have xymon monitoring any logfiles, but I will eventually think of something for it to alert on.

Thanks,
