I am getting some dead.letter issues as it seems hobbit is mis-reading my alert config... either that or I have laid out my hobbit-alerts.cfg file badly!

I think this last explanation is one you should check. The piece of your hobbit-alerts.cfg file that you included in the message had some hex 0xA0 characters in them - I don't know if they were added by your e-mail client, but if they are in the file I can understand why it would behave the way it does.
God only knows what Lotus Notes gets up to with it's formatting :-)
Try running "od -cx hobbit-alerts.cfg" and see if you have some of those 0xA0 characters in the file.
"od -cx hobbit-alerts.cfg | grep -i 0xA0" doesn't turn up anything.
Try this patch - it will complain loudly in the page.log file if it finds high-ascii (> 0x7f) characters in the file, and then drop them from the input.
I ran through the following procedure...
gmake distclean gpatch -p0 < cfg-hiascii.patch gmake ~/server/hobbit.sh stop gmake install ~/server/hobbit.sh start
However "~/server/bin/bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test zp1sv1 disk" still shows the same erroneous recipients and there are no complaints in page.log.

Thanks, Andy.
