Yeah, that makes sense. I ran another test on another valid IP address, and shut that equipment down. The alert was setup using the variables and the alert was received with the correct information. Once the equipment was turned back on, I received an alert with the correct information.
Works great.

Basicly what happened was that they stopped support for the MSN v8 protocol. And since the protocols are not officialy documented it was not easy to get it to work again. Still we have incorporated a new (temporary) sender that uses the MSN v15 protocol. (why temporary -> this is just a question of architecture within the component we're currently using, this will be changed in 2 to 3 weeks if all goes well).
