Xymond man page :-

--admin-senders=IP[/MASK][,IP/MASK]
Controls which hosts may send administrative commands to xymond. These
commands are the "drop" and "rename" commands. Access to these should be
restricted, since they provide an un-authenticated means of completely
disabling monitoring of a host, and can be used to remove all traces of
e.g. a system compromise from the Xymon monitor.
Note: If messages are sent through a proxy, the IP-address restrictions
are of little use, since the messages will appear to originate from the
proxy server address. It is therefore strongly recommended that you do
NOT include the address of a server running xymonproxy in the list of
allowed addresses.

Command should be run as xymon user on xymon server.

Subject: [Xymon] connection refused when running "xymon drop"

Hi

I've tried to drop "conn" check for two hosts and I'm getting
"connection refused" (saw it in xymond.log). I've tried from both the
server and client.

2013-01-07 12:35:13 Refused message from xx.xx.xx.xx: drop
dev.domain.com conn
2013-01-07 12:37:20 Refused message from xx.xx.xx.xx: drop
dev.domain.com conn

Any thoughts ?
