Without seeing the hobbit-alerts.conf it's going to be impossible for anyone to help you.
There has to be a typo or a mismatch of email addresses/hostnames or some sort of catchall address. I have never heard or seen any wrongfully alerted issues before so, I hate to say it, but looks like a PEBKAC.
If you can post your config then myself among others will take a glance at it and try to help you.

I have a strange problem on alerting.
I have windows pages going to a windows admin. However, he got a page from a unix box last night. I have all his hosts explicitly listed so he should not have gotten the page.
The machine names are similiar, and I'm not using any "regular expressions" for him, just the hostnames.
So, I was wondering if hobbit had a character limit on host names.
example:
mysadw002 is a windows server mysadu002 is a unix server
Only the "w" and "u" denote if its a windows or unix server.
I have mysadw002 listed for him to get a page on. He received a page last night for mysadu002.
Thanks for the help...James
