Clumsily, yes. You can define arbitrary environment variables in
mon.cf that will be added to the environment when the monitor is called.
Here's a clipping from my mon.cf:
service diskspace
description less than 5% disk space free?
MIBDIRS=/usr/local/share/snmp/mibs
COMMUNITY=mumble
interval 15m
monitor snmpdiskspace.monitor
Note how I define MIBDIRS and COMMUNITY, both of which are used by
the monitor script. You could define "MONGROUP=mailservers" to
pass a group name in, though you'd have to hard-code it for each
monitor entry.
