You're running --test.  It shows you:

> 00024942 2006-10-26 09:24:01 Mail alert with command 'mail -s "Hobbit

You have a winner! This will only test that a rule "fires" and triggers
your mail command, which it did.

I would simply type in, as the hobbit user,

$ mail -s "Hobbit Blah Test Text (RED)" mprice at hst.nasa.gov

and see if you get a blank email with that subject.  If so, it's
something else.  But if not, maybe the hobbit user can't access mail, or
the mail command is broked, or something like that.
