Barring that (in my case, changing MX records and mail routing was not
allowed), you can use fetchmail to pull mail from a valid account on
your e-mail server and acknowledge based on that. I have done that before.

You need to make sure that the reply e-mail is sent to the Xymon server.
If you, for example, have user-98e7dbae8497@xymon.invalid
<mailto:user-98e7dbae8497@xymon.invalid> as sender for alerts, you need to forward
it to user-dd4c61b4d096@xymon.invalid
<mailto:user-dd4c61b4d096@xymon.invalid> in exchange. You also need an
MX record for xymonserver.yourdomain.com in DNS, and you need to
configure the MTA on your Xymon server to accept mails for
@xymonserver.yourdomain.com domain.

Ok, now when I hit reply on an alert, I get the message back with
couldn’t find host. Is there additional steps with an exchange server maybe?

You only need to configure procmail according to the man-page, and it
works out of the box.

Could someone point me some documentation about acknowledging an alert
via email or phone.

 
Thanks in advance!
