The email alerts I get from my hobbit user have no subject line.
Well, mine do :-)

What system is this on - Linux, Solaris, BSD or ... ?
What command is used to send mail on your system ?
What's the MAIL setting in your hobbitserver.cfg file ?

Try this. Login as the hobbit user, cd to the server/ directory and
run this command:

$ ./bin/bbcmd --env=etc/hobbitserver.cfg hobbitd_alert --test osiris.hswn.dk cpu
Matching host:service:page 'osiris.hswn.dk:cpu:' against rule line 109:Failed (hostname not in include list)
Matching host:service:page 'osiris.hswn.dk:cpu:' against rule line 112:Matched
    *** Match with 'HOST=!pto.linuxbog.dk,!router1.aab11.dk,!router2.aab11.dk EXSERVICE=dnsinfo,tes' ***

Mail alert with command 'mail -s "BB [12345] osiris.hswn.dk:cpu is RED" user-ce4a2c883f75@xymon.invalid'

(Obviously, you should use one of your own hostnames).

The command that is used to send mail is shown in the line beginning
with "Mail alert with command" - it should include a subject, so if it
doesn't when the mail shows up in your mailbox, you may have to use a
different MAIL setting on your system.
