I'm pretty sure this is not the only solution that exists -- you might try the list archives as it gets asked regularly. If I'm not mistaken, mostly in conjunction with RHEL/CentOS 6.

Barely relevant background info: I managed to wipe out my xymon server. I had a backup of my config information that's over six months old, so I haven't had to rebuild from scratch. I also upgraded from 4.3.10 to 4.3.12 when I rebuilt it.
I had run into alerts coming through as attachments before, but now there seems to be an extra dimension to it. Before I was able to fix it with the following change in xymonserver.cfg:
MAILC="/usr/bin/tr -d '\\015' | mail"
Now that isn't working for all of my alerts. With some investigation, I have been able to determine that additional control characters are now being sent from clients. I've had to extend my MAILC variable to eliminate additional characters:
MAILC="/usr/bin/tr -d '\\001\\004\\015' | mail"
Does anyone know if there might be additional characters I'll need to eliminate before it gets sent to mail/mailx? Is there any way to have Xymon do this so that no special config is needed?
Thanks, Shawn
