Ignoring a Service

I do it like this:

HOST=%(server*|server2*)
        MAIL user-04ae7151bbbd@xymon.invalid EXSERVICE=smtp REPEAT=999999 RECOVERED

Thanks,

Hey,

I need some help to ignore this service.  Have tried many different ways
of putting this in the code, but nothing seems to work.  Trying to ignore
smtp for one host because it alerts every time it turns on to send an
email.  Here is what i have in the alerts.cfg:

HOST=%(server*|server2*)
        IGNORE HOST=server* SERVICE=smtp
        MAIL user-04ae7151bbbd@xymon.invalid REPEAT=999999 RECOVERED

So the way i understand this is that it should be ignoring smtp but still
emailing about the other services.  If anyone has any ideas on what i may
be doing wrong that would be great.

Thanks,
