Tom,

If it is only one or 2 items you need to clean up the notifications for 
then you could simply specify the up/down messages for the individual 
service.  You wouldn't want to do this for all services as it does get 
very tedious to maintain.

Simply throw this into your Prog definition:
messagedn: IMAPS is down
messageup: IMAPS is up
