AH! You have a purple status – looks to me like the “drop” command didn’t work.
Perhaps try dropping it with the hostname in lower case?
I’ve found in the past that drop can be temperamental and I’ve on occasion ended up dropping the whole host to check that I’ve got it right.
Regards.

The manpage says “column is one of cpu, disk, files, memory, msgs, ports, procs.” – it doesn’t mention “telnet” as an option to drop.
Well, then the manpage should be updated.
Here is the page normally:

And here is the page with "0.0.0.0 .default. # NOCOLUMNS:telnet" added.

To entertain the suggestion, I've commented out the .default. line too but still no alerts... I'm not sure where else to look.
