I have a bit of a problem with my alert config. 

Suppose I have two macros defined for host groups

$databases=%(sdb.*)
$unix=%(sdb.*|www.*)

Then I create some records like...

HOST=$databases
	MAIL user-d41094030bcb@xymon.invalid
	MAIL user-d361980bf330@xymon.invalid

HOST=$unix
	MAIL user-d41094030bcb@xymon.invalid
	MAIL user-7f7c55bdae94@xymon.invalid

The problem is then, that the managers group will get two alerts when
there is a problem with an sdb* box. 

This was not the behavior under BB.  Is there a way to keep the
duplicate alerts out?
