Message-Id: <user-6f368ab284e4@xymon.invalid>

So I have a fancy new mail filter script that allows me to send mail to user-b958269c9b6b@xymon.invalid in order to reach the people responsible for servername.

I'd like to use this in hobbit-alerts, but I can't seem to find a way. It seems I can match on hostname (HOST=xyz) to decide where alerts should go, and I can get the hostname (BBHOSTNAME) inside of a custom SCRIPT, but I can't use it in the hobbit-alerts directly.

For instance, this

    MAIL admins+$user-bcd058156a9b@xymon.invalid

tries to sent the message to admins+$user-bcd058156a9b@xymon.invalid.

Yes, I can do an external script, but I'd really rather not recreate the messages Xymon is sending out anyway just to change the recipient. Is there a variable that represents the hostname in the alerts file?

Thanks.
