In that case I probably remember it wrong and it should work. Another  
explanation is that Monit has problems with  the email address and the  
parser just wrongly reports an error for 'not'. I seem to recall that  
previous versions of Monit did not allow '.' in the email address  
before the @ sign.

So instead of using 'my.email' try using 'myemail' and see if that  
helps.

The 'changed' event has gone in Monit 5.0.x.
