[Xymon] Ignoring a Service

Hey,

I need some help to ignore this service. Have tried many different ways of putting this in the code, but nothing seems to work. Trying to ignore smtp for one host because it alerts every time it turns on to send an email. Here is what i have in the alerts.cfg:

HOST=%(server*|server2*) IGNORE HOST=server* SERVICE=smtp MAIL coreitstaff at ucsd.edu REPEAT=999999 RECOVERED

So the way i understand this is that it should be ignoring smtp but still emailing about the other services. If anyone has any ideas on what i may be doing wrong that would be great.

Thanks,
