Had an event last night that caused a test to go red for 20 minutes, but
no email was sent.

There is nothing in the maillog for this event, it appears xymon did not
send anything.
Has this worked recently?  Perhaps the link between alerting an your MTA
has been severed.

Where else can I look to troubleshoot?


Perhaps look for errors from xymond_alert.  These will be in "alert.log".
 You might find a reason why it can't run /usr/bin/mail.  Also, try
"xymond_alert --dump-config" and check the parsed config to see if it
matches what you expect.
