I am not sure if I understood your email but how about something like
this

cat script.sh

  #!/bin/sh

  PATTERN_FILE=${BBSERVERROOT}/server/etc/patterns

  echo "${BBALPHAMSG}" | $EGREP -f $PATTERN_FILE > /dev/null 2>&1

  [ "$?" -ne 0 ] && {
  echo "${BBALPHAMSG}" | /bin/mailx -s "BB [$ACKCODE] $BBHOSTSVC is RED" $RCPT
  }

  exit 0


PATTERN file could be list of patterns--that can be put each on a
separate line--that you don't want to be paged for.

Then SCRIPT /path/to/script.sh user-ad62a7b8f4f5@xymon.invalid FORMAT=TEXT COLOR=red 
on your hobbit-alerts.cfg should may work.

Again, I am answering based on what I assume you like to do. I might be
totally wrong about your intension

Thanks
