Hi 

I like the notice option which works fine with the following rule

HOST=%(.*)
        MAIL user-9567bcdf9731@xymon.invalid NOTICE

However I am also receiving RED alerts to this user-9567bcdf9731@xymon.invalid address.
This email address is not in any where else in my hobbit-alerts.cfg
file.

According to the man page and I excerpt 

"NOTICE Rule matches if the message is  a  "notify"  message.
     This type of message is sent when a host or test is disabled
     or enabled."

I should only get "notify" messages to my user-9567bcdf9731@xymon.invalid address.

Am I misreading the man page?

Thanks

Add a NOALERT after the NOTICE, and you won't get the alert messages.

Let me get this straight. So if I like to get RED alert to the address
user-9567bcdf9731@xymon.invalid through a different rule in hobbit-alerts.cfg it will
still work right?

Can you send a patch for maint.pl so you get only one alert per submit?

That is how maint.pl used to work.

In other words say I select hostA's ALL services and hostB's conn
service to disable for two hours then notify sends one email per
host.service. I rather have just one email per submit.

Thanks
