Hi all,
This seems to be a bug (or at least a flaw) in the alerting system (on hobbit trunk from Dec 2008): a recovery is sent for a MAIL alert that never actually sent an alert in the first place. The last two lines in the notifications.log are recoveries that were sent at the exact same time. But only 1 alert (alarm) was actually sent out.
I have a feeling you're seeing an artifact of some oddities in how the alerts module matches up events and paging rules. You can see my analysis writeup here (however, I never solved the problem): http://www.hswn.dk/hobbiton/2008/07/msg00132.html -Alan

Yes, it looks like you're right Alan. I really think the alerts module needs a bit of a rewrite... I've already posted about several flaws in it over the past year... It just doesn't seem to be possible to get it doing what I want (and expect) for several different tests / scenarios (at the same time).
