For most of our servers, we have a MAIL statement that sends e-mails

same rule that e-mails another group, and that should only happen 7AM
to 5PM.
My question is, if the failure happens at 3AM, e-mail #1 goes out. If
it is still down at 7AM, shouldn't e-mail #2 go out?
Could this be because I've increased my ALERTREPEAT="1440" in
hobbitserver.cfg?
I think it could be related. I haven't found out exactly what happens,
but it looks like the second e-mail is not being considered until the
repeat-interval for the first e-mail triggers. In other words, after
sending email #1, the rules for email #2 are ignored for 1440 minutes.
Which - obviously - is not what should happen.
Could you try if swapping those two MAIL lines changes anything ? If my
suspicion is right, then it should work if you have the time-restricted
MAIL line first.
