In order to monitor /var/log/messages the hobbit user must be able to read the file, which by default is only readable by root. You either add hobbit to the root group, or what I usually do is make /var/log/messages use the hobbit group id.
You also need to install the postfixadm package, see the apt-get man page for details. This package is necessary to run the postfix mail server.
Thanks, Larry Barber

This error is due to the fact that the source of this package is not referenced in your APT servers. I had to comment the line 149 in bb-check-apt.pl to disable this alert. I don't mind about package sources, because I'm the only that can install packages.
About your persimssion issue, I disagree with the answer you get, adding xymon, that has automated scripts (like plugins) is not very secure I think. So I use ACL (on ext3 FS) to get xymon the right to read some files, as /var/log/messages.
From a 11/2009 post by Christoph Berg, it appears that what may also work to avoid the alert is to put the package on "hold": echo postfixadmin hold | dpkg --set-selections
