      Aha! That code is written from inside /usr/local/pkg/arpwatch.inc. So if I edit that file it'll not get overwritten unless I remove and re-add the package.

        Did you guys figure out the more perm solution?

        I see in file:

        #!/usr/bin/env php
        <?php
        
        require_once("notices.inc");
        
        $fd = fopen('php://stdin','r');
        $message = stream_get_contents($fd);
        fclose($fd);
        
        if (false !== $message) {
                $subject = array();
                preg_match('/^Subject: (.*)$/m', $message, $subject);
                $message = preg_replace('/^From: .*$/m', '', $message);
                $message = preg_replace('/^To: .*$/m', '', $message);
                $message = preg_replace('/^Subject: .*$/m', '', $message);
                $message = preg_replace("/^(\n){4}/", '', $message);
        
                send_smtp_message($message, "{$config['system']['hostname']}.{$config['system']['domain']} - Arpwatch Notificatio
        n : {$subject[1]}");
        }
        
        ?>

          As I noted in my second post, the file is generated by code in /usr/local/pkg/arpwatch.inc. Editing that file seems to work! I'm receiving other mails but not the flip flop mails.

              EDIT: This has been fixed in release 0.2.0_2. Do not do the hacks below, just update your arpwatch package!

              It is posted in my original post. Look in /usr/local/pkg/arpwatch.inc for the line

              if (false !== $message) {
              

              And replace it with the below (substitute your own device MAC addresses):

              $flipflop='flip flop';
              $tv1='c8:69:cd:00:00:00';
              $tv2='e0:89:7e:00:00:00';
              $tv3='1c:1a:c0:00:00:00';
                
              if ((false !== $message) and (
                (false === strpos($message, $flipflop)) or
                ( (false === strpos($message, $tv1)) and
                  (false === strpos($message, $tv2)) and
                  (false === strpos($message, $tv3)) ))) {

                  Actually, I realized I had an error and reversed the order of the arguments in the strpos. I've corrected my posts. What I had suppressed all messages, oops :)

                      So far in last 3-4 hours it seem to be holding water :)
                      Did you tested if it will stay if arpwatch reinstalled it will stay in place or not ?

                        I did just test and uninstall / reinstall arpwatch, and it wiped the script hack and the database. But it was easy to put back in.

                          I installed arpwatch 0.2.0_1 and see 'sometimes' still flip flop emails.

                          Odd...
                          Do you see it after upgrade ?

                            Since uninstall/reinstall replaced my custom fixes it wouldn't surprise me if an upgrade overwrote any modifications you've made. Just go re-edit the /usr/local/pkg/arpwatch.inc file, and in the arpwatch config hit "save" to copy from there to /usr/local/arpwatch/sendmail_proxy.php. You can use the file viewer to confirm whether the modifications are there.

                            I have only seen one other "flip flop" email for a different device (my Orbi mesh router, that has a hidden mac/wifi address for its backhaul network).

                              I did not did Save configuration step, hope it's good now.
                              Confirmed now the changes were saved to /usr/local/arpwatch/sendmail_proxy.php

                              Thx

                                  @viktor_g Fantastic! I had thought about doing something like that but had no clue where to start.

                                    So now that @viktor_g showed us the right way to make a permanent fix, I've implemented that change as well as my own tweak to it, and another request to not wipe the database on uninstall/upgrade. I love this community. :)

                                        Dunno, @viktor_g made a pull request that someone has to review, and I made a pull request to his branch that he has to review (and testing indicates might be broken...) and then even when they are all accepted they need to release 0.2.0_2.

                                        So.... don't hold your breath, but if you're comfortable hacking a bit, you can get a jump on the official release :)

                                          Finally figured out my error.... 0 can be either false or true depending on which logical operator you use.
