Several problems here.
* "IGNORE" is for a recipient. If you want to excludea host it is "EXHOST=<hostname>". But having a "HOST=* EXHOST=*" does not make sense. * It is "RECOVERED" by itself, not "RECOVERED=1". * Judging from the whitespace (the blank line), you want the first "HOST=*" to be a rule by itself. It is not, a rule must have a recipient (MAIL or SCRIPT). So all of what you have from this bit of alerts.cfg go into one rule, and probably ends up being interpreted as all "http" alerts going to the two mail addresses, and both of them receiving recovery notifications. Try running "xymoncmd xymond_alert --dump-config" and see how the parsed configuration looks.
What I'm trying to accomplish is to stop the "I'm OK - recovered" messages. Those messages are irrelevant, so I want those filtered out. The problem though, is that the logic is completely off on this point. The first rule for some reason takes presedense, even though I have explicitly told it to only use that rule IF the host has recovered, no?
I want it to skip that rule, if it has not yet recovered, send mail to the first user immediately, then to the other user after 5 minutes, but leave those users alone if the service is OK again. Is there a way to accomplish this? If you don't want any messages about recovered hosts, just dont put "RECOVERED" anywhere in your config. They are not enabled by default.

rule specification. E.g.
HOST=one-host SERVICE=http RECOVERED MAIL adam at example.com MAIL eve at example.com
will send alerts and recovery not
Adam and Eve.
If you only want recovery notices sent to one recipient, then put it on that recipient:
HOST=one-host SERVICE=http MAIL adam at example.com RECOVERED MAIL eve at example.com
will send alerts to both Adam and Eve, but recovery messages only to Adam.
