One "right way" is just to skip the alert statement for that
particular check entry. But for this to work you must not use a global
SET ALERT statement. Maybe we should allow an empty alert filter block
as you first tried or use a "none" keyword for no alters? For example:
  
  alert address@hidden on {none}

Thoughts?
