not receiving alerts

I've attached a screen shot of the 'info' page of the host that's red.

Strangely enough the notifications.log file suddenly has some data in it
now that I stripped some options out of the alerts.cfg file.

Here's some of the notifications.log data.  I X'd out the IP that was
showing.

Sat Nov  9 11:50:47 2013 VM-Firewall.ssh (x.x.x.x) user-800263fcb636@xymon.invalid[2]

Here's my new alerts.cfg file.  It didn't change anything though.  I'm
still not receiving alerts.  To force a trouble situation I've got a
line in my hosts file that's checking for ssh on a machine that has it
turned off so it will cause a red alert.

HOST=*
   MAIL user-800263fcb636@xymon.invalid <mailto:user-800263fcb636@xymon.invalid>
COLOR=red RECOVERED NOTICE

First, check the "info" status column for that host: The alert must be
shown there, or your configuration is not being picked up.

Second, check the notifications.log logfile to see if the alerts are being
sent. If they are, then you need to look into the mail logs.

Third, try running xymond_alert with the "--test HOSTNAME SERVICE" option
to see what rules get picked up; see the man-page.
