Do you have the procmail hooks in the postfix config files?
If not, do you have your .forward setup to send stuff to procmail?

The server is accepting emails, the /var/mail/xymon has all of the
responses I have sent back via the alerts, but they never seem to
make it to the.procmailrc script or the Mailbox and nothing is
logging in the procmail.log.

okay made a lot of progress now. It arrived at the server but
never seems to either get parsed by the .procmail in the xymon home
directory or not being processed correctly. Any ideas?

That error is postfix tell you it can't deliver. Did you edit

Well we are getting closer. I am now able to telnet to the server.
I tried to send mail to the server but kicked off every time i try
to do the subject line.
[root at xxxcacti2 ~]# telnet XXXXXXXX.xxx.com

221 2.7.0 Error: I can break rules, too. Goodbye.
Connection closed by foreign host.
I have the .procmailrc file set up as per the xymon man page, still
not sure if the "Mailbox" is a directory or file. and the
directory structure of the xymon home directory looks like this.
drwxr-xr-x. 2 xymon xymon 4096 Oct 2 11:02 Mailbox
-rw-r--r--. 1 xymon xymon 0 Oct 1 12:15 procmail.log
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 xymon xymon 124 Oct 2 11:04 .procmailrc
This feature is one of the most important to the company I work for
and have been trying to get it to work for a couple of days now. We
even added an MX record for the server so mail can be delivered to
it directly. Telnet works locally and remote.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated, you have all been
a huge help so far and this monitoring tool has done wonders for
this company.

I am using Centos 6.2
By default Centos (aka Red Hat) v6 boxes run postfix (rather than
Sendmail).
During my install I do not remember installing anything as the
mail transport, but the alerting was working right out of the box
from day one.
Initially, postfix is configured so it won't accept SMTP
connections from off the box. So outbound emails will get sent OK,
but incoming emails will not get delivered to the Xymon server.
Test this by attempting to telnet to the Xymon server on port 25
from another device, such as a Windows PC, with "telnet
xymon.server.name <http://xymon.server.name>; 25". If you get a
"connection refused" or similar message, than you need to
reconfigure Postfix to accept remote connections.
I followed the man page for the mailack and created everything as
per the instructions, but I am not even sure the mail is reaching
the server at this point.
Probably not. Have a look at the "STANDARD_CONFIGURATION_README"
file that came with Postfix for instructions on setting things up,
particularly the "Postfix on a local network" section.
