I would like to set up a hobbit alert,so I wrote in the hobbit-alerts.cfg:
HOST=WS004:81 MAIL im.number.nine at gmail.com SERVICE=http MAIL my_2nd_email at host.nl SERVICE=http
I know the http is down from that host so i gave it a shot, i saved and rebooted but it doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas what might be wrong?

Have you checked your mail log, and your local SMTP server configuration, to see if you can actually send email?

Note, I don't use Debian.
The mail log will almost certainly be under /var/log and will be titled something starting with "mail". There may be multiple files (mail.info, mail.err etc).
Checking the mail server depends on what you have installed, Sendmail, Postfix, Exim (or something else). You'll probably find that "mailq" will work, but may not.
Try sending a mail from the command line - see what happens.
Of course, that you're asking suggests that you may not even have a local SMTP server, never mind have it correctly configured. I suggest you take a trip to the Debian mailing lists/forums/whatever and get help there in getting your SMTP server installed and configured.

Hi ,
- The mail log will almost certainly be under /var/log and will be
titled something starting with "mail". There may be multiple files (mail.info, mail.err etc).
These are empty!
- Checking the mail server depends on what you have installed,
Sendmail, Postfix, Exim (or something else). You'll probably find that "mailq" will work, but may not.
I can see a folder Exim4 so i presume i have exim.
Is there a manual for setting up e-mail?

I think there is a e-mail account installed because with "mailq" shows :
48h 6.8k 1jrcnm-0000l3-3h <> *** frozen *** hobbit at hobbit.test.com
How can i install an other e-mail account?

Any ideas what might be wrong? Unless the ":81" is part of the actual hostname, it shouldn't be there, and instead should just be: HOST=WS004
Be sure the hostname matches the same name you are using in your bb-hosts file.

nah it's a part of the name :D

Well, well. If your host names are allowed to include colons, I bet lots of software gets confused, including DNS!
But you might need to change to the regular expression form of matching -- stick a % in front and see if that helps. But since colons are not allowed in DNS names, and they indicate ports, you may be "up the creek".
