What are you running Xymon on (Ubuntu, CentOS, etc)? Are you able to send emails outside of Xymon?

Stephen,

That syntax I *think* should work, but might normally be written:

HOST=HomePC2 SERVICE=rdp COLOR=red
     MAIL user-b3ca4af6e1e6@xymon.invalid DURATION>5

If neither works, you might want to check the $MAIL variable, making sure
/bin/mailx (or whatever it's set to) is working. Also, proper working of
your local mailer, etc....

HTH,
