Hi,

I do not understand.

The new notification can not resolve your problem, just provide more
information for the alert.
The value of field "type of alert" are very important for resolving the
problem.

Arpalert can detect many events, the "type of alert" describe the event
detected.
A mac address already know can generate alerts in few cases.

Send me new "valid" alert generated with the new script.
