Are you looking to change the sender's email address or the hostname in the
content of the message?

 Gentlemen,


Is there a way to change the way the alerts are sent out from hobbit?  I
have a couple hobbit servers and I plan to add more in the future so I want
my emails to come from a customized name instead of "hobbit".  Where do I go
to change the sender's name?
How are you sending the alerts??  If it's via email on a Unix/Linux box,
the mail system is probably picking up the user name from the GECOS field in
/etc/passwd.
