Unable to get Hobbit 4.2 to send e-mails

I see that there is a way to 'fake' a test in Hobbit (Xymon) but that doesn't send an e-mail.  Do you know what command will actually send an e-mail as if an alert has been triggered?

You could start with su'ing to the hobbit user, then trying:

$ mail [your email address]
Subject: Test
[blank line]
ctrl-D
$

That should lead to you getting an email from your hobbit user. If you don't, then your "mail" command is not configured correctly for your hobbit user.
