Dependants

[Mark Nadir]

Hi Matt,

Try this - in the hosts.cfg file, specify the PARENTS for each host, for 
e.g.

PARENTS  www.godhelpme.com www.pleaseletthiswork.com

That setting should help to prevent those messages, and only give send a 
message regarding the parent.

Let me know how it goes.

Mark.
