However - no mail arrives. I'm sure the reason is that the server doesn't know where to send them - I can't seem to find anywhere in the hobbit config files where I can tell it about my local smtp server.
Do I need to be configuring sendmail on my hobit server or?
Hobbit just calls the "mail" utility on your system - often that in turn
invokes sendmail to actually deliver the mail.

So yes, you need to configure mail on your box for Hobbit to deliver alerts via e-mail.
