[hobbit] Alerts not working at all

We've just recently been forced into supporting systems with hobbit, and I'm excited about the uses of the tool but I can't seem to make anything work.

We've got the monitoring up just fine and the alerts happen when stuff goes down, but I don't receive any emails. The only thing in my hobbit-alerts.cfg is this:

HOST=* MAIL me at work.com

What could I be missing?
