Hobbit Emails empty

I have no problems with the Windows BB client -- I think Henrik did an
excellent job with "backwards" compatibility.

	I don't think hobbit plays well with the BB windows client (I
don't recal where I saw this).  Have you tried putting BBWin on one of
the servers to see if that gives you any output?

	Yes here is the relevant line in my hobbit-alerts.cfg

	# The hobbit-alerts.cfg file controls who receives alerts

	# This file is made up from RULES and RECIPIENTS.

	# A RULE is a filter made from the PAGE where a host

	# the COLOR of the status, the TIME of day, and the
	# DURATION of the event.

	# A RECIPIENT can be a MAIL address, or a SCRIPT.
	#
	# Recipients can also have rules associated with them,

	# you can define a rule for alerting, then add an
	# extra criteria e.g. so a single recipient does not get
	# alerted until after 20 minutes.

	# A sample rule:
	 
	HOST=* Color=red

	Can you share your ~/server/etc/hobbit-alerts.cfg please?

	I have a test Hobbit server running on CentOS 5.0 I am running
Hobbit 4.1.2p2 and everything appears to be fuinctioning correct except
alerting. When I trigger an alert, I get an email with only a subject
and no body. I expected to get some information about the alert and the
link to the monitored device. I am sure I am missing something fairly
simple but I am new to Linux and Hobbit. 

	 
	Any Ideas?
