I've sent the 2nd try via my own server, and it has left the queue.
The one sent via Yahoo has come back after one week.

Hmmm, let's see. I have used more clear values now to emphasize the
difference. According to this setting,

     set temp1_over 52

52�C should be the threshold which triggers alarm if the temperature
goes _OVER_ this value. And when it has cooled down thus far

     set temp1_hyst 40

alarm will be stopped again.

BUT the sensors output reports

  limit = +40�C, hysteresis = +52�C)

which is swapped. Now, a while ago someone posted this on the
Seawolf list:

  set temp_over 30
  set temp_hyst 5

  limit = +30�C, hysteresis =  +5�C

Here it is NOT swapped.
