Thanks for providing a good test-case with the configuration you use.

The patch you tried was a bit too eager in applying the criteria for
recipients; it used the criteria from the last recipient for all of
the recipients hanging off the same rule (i.e. all lines with
recipients would get the same setup).

I've fixed this, and updated the post-RC3 patch. With the new version,
your configuration results in the correct alert-setup, as far as I can
tell.

Patch is at http://www.hswn.dk/beta/post-RC3.patch (same location as
before). You must un-install the old version of the patch first:

   cd hobbit-4.0-RC3
   patch -R -p0 </tmp/post-RC3.patch.old

then apply the new one:
   patch -p0 </tmp/post-RC3.patch

and then do the "make" "make install".


I'd be very happy if you can confirm that this results in the correct
alert-setup for your hosts.
