I am getting some dead.letter issues as it seems hobbit is mis-reading my
alert config... either that or I have laid out my hobbit-alerts.cfg file
badly!

I'm starting to suspect it is to do with the order of the arguments, or
maybe whitespace issues.  Or, God forbid, oddball control characters which
have somehow ended up in the file.
I think this last explanation is one you should check. The piece of your
hobbit-alerts.cfg file that you included in the message had some hex
0xA0 characters in them - I don't know if they were added by your e-mail
client, but if they are in the file I can understand why it would behave
the way it does.

Try running "od -cx hobbit-alerts.cfg" and see if you have some of those 
0xA0 characters in the file.
