It tries to send an e-mail to "klj at brs.dk". And you have a typo on line
121 of your hobbit-alerts.cfg - it should probably be "REPEAT=1m"
instead of "REPEAR=1m" (T instead of R).

Do us a favour and run
   bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test Server disk
and look for the line that says
   Mail alert with command 'mail -s "Hobbit [12345] Server:disk CRITICAL (RED)" klj at brs.dk'

That's the exact command Hobbit uses to send the alert. Check that it
works; some systems need to have MAILCMD set to "mailx" instead of
"mail" (the default) in hobbitserver.cfg.
