Josh,
This may not be your problem but I had issues in the past similar to this. My problem turned out to be how RECOVERED was being handled. I’m using xymon 4.3.28 on Redhat 7.6.
I defined this macro at the top of the rule set in alerts.cfg and replaced all STOP instances with $STOP.
!!!!!!!!!! IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Define macro to halt any further rule evaluation.
Both IGNORE and RECOVERED are needed.
$STOP=IGNORE RECOVERED

The man page says:
STOP - Valid for a recipient: If this recipient gets an
alert, recipients further down in alerts.cfg
are ignored.
This doesn't seem to be the case, though. The second and third statements are happening even though the first has a STOP.
