Sorry, I wasn't clear, I did want all alerts to go to both my addresses.
I just didn't realize that the "instance" events were associated with the check system - I thought that instance events were a hidden global level, not associated with any checks, so that even a monitrc with no checks would still send the instance events.

The "set alert ..." is global for all services - you can use local/per-service alert when needed. You can also filter the events (the particular event type which is related to monit start/stop/reload is called "instance").

I am trying to add a secondary email for just certain conditions but that email is receiving an alert when I restart monit, too. I only want that address to receive mail for the specific situations where I use it. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong, never used this feature of monit before...

set alert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
set alert [EMAIL PROTECTED]

check system 10.0.0.10
  if loadavg (5min) > 5.0 2 times within 3 cycles then alert
alert [EMAIL PROTECTED]

...

check process httpd with pidfile /var/run/httpd.pid
   if failed host 10.0.0.10 port 80 then alert
alert [EMAIL PROTECTED]
