The "abort event" is here because the alert failed (most probably 
because mailserver was unavailable). Monit has event queue support for 
such cases, see default monitrc comments or manual for more details:

## By default monit will drop alert events if no mail servers are available.
## If you want to keep the alerts for a later delivery retry, you can 
use the
## EVENTQUEUE statement. The base directory where undelivered alerts will be
## stored is specified by the BASEDIR option. You can limit the maximal 
queue
## size using the SLOTS option (if omitted, the queue is limited by space
## available in the back end filesystem).
#
# set eventqueue
#     basedir /var/monit  # set the base directory where events will be 
stored
#     slots 100           # optionaly limit the queue siz
--8<--
