We just had devmon stop working while we was out at lunch and had over 1600
e-mail messages come in.  So I logged into the server and stopped sendmail,
so that the e-mails would stop going out.  I have everything up and working
but need to know how I can clear out any left over messages so that when I
start sendmail back up I won't get another 1600 messages saying recovered.

 
After I get that resolved what is the best way to have hobbit only page out
purple for the devmon process itself and not for any device devmon is
monitoring?

 
Thanks,

You might want to look at /var/spool/mail

I had looked in there but there really was anything there pertaining to the
messages going out.  I finally found something at clientmqueue and there was
around 3000 messages in there.  How can I configure it so that the purple
doesn't go out like that.  I mean I have alerts setup in the
hobbit-alerts.cfg but none of them are for purple only yellow and red.  The
only spot I see purple is hobbitserver.cfg, which I would think once I
configure custom alerts for all my devices and don't include purple that it
wouldn't go out at all.
