On some of my servers IP services pop3 and smtp are causing critical alerts 
even though these services are puposely blocked by a firewall and I cant find a 
way to prevent those false alarms from re-occurring.

These services seem to be discovered via SMTP and alerting occurs because 
monitoring is set to "true" globally at the IpService level.

I have tried to delete the discovered services on the machine in question, set 
monitoring to false on them, even locked them, to no avail. 

The same thing happens with machines having multiple (virtual) IP addresses 
(VMware) where Zenoss keeps complaining that some IP services are not available 
on one of those addresses, which is correct, but there should be a way to tell 
Zenoss to accept this fact.

O.K., I could disable monitoring these services globally, but it would be 
stupid to do so just because one out of 50 servers has some special 
configuration. It would be similarily stupid to create and manage a complete 
new service class for each of these "special" servers. So how is it intended to 
handle this problem?
