Xymon already knows the recipients because it keeps track of them for
REPEAT processing, saving the time of the last alert sent so that it knows
when it's time to send each repeat.
Another solution is to simply keep track of whether an alert was sent for
each of the ALERTCOLORS and send recovery messages for all of them, not
just the last one. The recovery processing can simply lookup the recipients
at that time, rather than having to keep track of them.

P.S. Possibly the best analysis of this problem is in this message and
thread:

I suspect the best solution may be for the code to record the recipients
that were sent the alert and send the recovery to those, like Big Brother
does (according to that thread).

I realise that there are no paid Xymon staff developers, so I wonder if
anyone would be interested in earning some money for fixing this issue:
Recovery notifications not generated when test goes red->yellow->green?

The relevant source code is probably in https://sourceforge.net/p/xymo
n/code/HEAD/tree/branches/4.3.29/xymond/do_alert.c
If you are interested in working on this, please contact me off-list with
your best price and using the same subject line preferably describing what,
if any, feature or other changes you would make. This will be sealed
bids. Assuming bids are received, the closing date for bids will be 27th
December.
If anyone is interested in contributing money to this bounty, also contact
me with the same subject line preferably by 27th December. I don't know
what our budget is for fixing this yet, so any help with it, er, may help!
If the best price is reasonable, the winning bidder will be informed and a
plan agreed. We would make your patches available to the community for all
to enjoy and hopefully be merged into a future release.
Kind regards and Happy Christmas,
