While trying to add a new alert to alerts.cfg I seem to have killed all
my alerts. For testing I whittled the alerts.cfg down to one entry:
## proxy servers
HOST=scadmzprx01.lereta.com SERVICE=conn,http
MAIL covinacomputerroom at lereta.com COLOR=red DURATION>10
SCRIPT /var/xymon/server/bin/sendsms 2135551212 at txt.att.net FORMAT=sms
I ran xymond_alert
$ ./xymond_alert --test scadmzprx01.lereta.com conn

Why does the MAIL option fail? It works if I remove the DURATION keyword.
FTTB I removed the delayed notifications but I'd like them back
I am using xymon version 4.3.28.
