Hmm. I added COLOR=red,purple to every recipient line, but it doesn't show up in dump-config.

Works for me. Could you post just one of these rules/recipients that doesn't work ?

Here's the bit from hobbit-alert.cfg:

HOST=$HG-IA

SCRIPT /opt/bb/server/ext/email onduty SERVICE=3dm,procs RECOVERED COLOR=red,purple

SCRIPT /opt/bb/server/ext/email ops SERVICE=3dm,procs RECOVERED COLOR=red,purple

SCRIPT /opt/bb/server/ext/email onduty SERVICE=conn DURATION>6 RECOVERED COLOR=red,purple

SCRIPT /opt/bb/server/ext/email ops SERVICE=conn DURATION>6 RECOVERED COLOR=red,purple

SCRIPT /opt/bb/server/ext/email ops EXSERVICE=3dm,procs,conn RECOVERED COLOR=red,purple

    SCRIPT /opt/bb/server/ext/email bruce_mail FORMAT=text RECOVERED COLOR=red,purple DURATION>6

Here's the config-dump:

HOST=<snip lots of hosts> SCRIPT /opt/bb/server/ext/email bruce_mail FORMAT=SCRIPT REPEAT=30 DURATION>6 RECOVERED
