Paul,
Can you use your SMTP agent to make mails manually?
I'm lazy and old fashioned, try telnet'ing on port 25 and follow this:
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 localhost ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.5.20060308/8.13.5/Debian-3ubuntu1.1;

Hi everyone,
Long time listener, first time caller (or maybe second time ;) ). I seem
to be having a weird issue with hobbit not sending out email alerts. I have
the following rules set up (emails changed to protect the innocent). I did
have macros setup for this and I thought it was part of the problem, but it
was not.
PAGE=oracle
MAIL user-26a36fa41997@xymon.invalid SERVICE=conn,oracle,disk COLOR=red
REPEAT=15m RECOVERED
MAIL user-1534f7d357d0@xymon.invalid SERVICE=conn,oracle,disk COLOR=red REPEAT=15m
RECOVERED
I sent out a test alert using bbcmd hobbitd_alerts --test atgtier2app1
oracle which is a host on my oracle page and it shows that the rules match
and that it sends on the emails

I verified that my server can send mail out by sending a test message
using mailx to myself and I did receive it. I even took my troubleshooting a
step further and ran tcpdump on the network interface looking for anything
going to the remote mail server and saw SMTP traffic when i sent my test
message, but not my hobbitd_alert --test message. At this point I am
scratching my head. Is there is anything in hobbit to debug why messages are
not being sent out? I tried looking at some of the hobbit and postfix logs,
but nothing really indicated any problems.
The hobbit server is running Linux (ubuntu 7.04 server) and hobbit 4.2.0
Thanks for the help!
