Paul,
Can you use your SMTP agent to make mails manually?
I'm lazy and old fashioned, try telnet'ing on port 25 and follow this:
Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 localhost ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.5.20060308/8.13.5/Debian-3ubuntu1.1; Fri, 26 Jan 2007 19:15:30 -0500; (No UCE/UBE) logging access from: localhost(OK)-localhost [127.0.0.1] helo me 250 localhost Hello localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you mail from: <> 250 2.1.0 <>...

Hi everyone,
Long time listener, first time caller (or maybe second time ;) ). I seem to be having a weird issue with hobbit not sending out email alerts. I have the following rules set up (emails changed to protect the innocent). I did have macros setup for this and I thought it was part of the problem, but it was not.
PAGE=oracle MAIL email1 at test.com SERVICE=conn,oracle,disk COLOR=red REPEAT=15m RECOVERED MAIL email2 at test.com SERVICE=conn,oracle,disk COLOR=red REPEAT=15m RECOVERED
I sent out a test alert using bbcmd hobbitd_alerts --test atgtier2app1 oracle which is a host on my oracle page and it shows that the rules match and that it sends on the emails

I verified that my server can send mail out by sending a test message using mailx to myself and I did receive it. I even took my troubleshooting a step further and ran tcpdump on the network interface looking for anything going to the remote mail server and saw SMTP traffic when i sent my test message, but not my hobbitd_alert --test message. At this point I am scratching my head. Is there is anything in hobbit to debug why messages are not being sent out? I tried looking at some of the hobbit and postfix logs, but nothing really indicated any problems.
The hobbit server is running Linux (ubuntu 7.04 server) and hobbit 4.2.0
Thanks for the help!
