Thanks,

Hang on there! Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the point is that the
$ should anchor the end of the string and it should never match pandora.
Right?

I am having a problem with alerts going to the wrong people. I have a
line in hobbit-alerts.cfg:

HOST=%pan$

(this is just for demo and test purposes, I know that particular entry
doesn't make a lot of sense ) The problem is that this line is
matching
with a host name "pandora". Is there any way to stop this?

Thanks,
