Does hobbit understand that the comma delimited are actually individual
email addresses for the purpose of deciding who to page? ie, say you had
another rule which said don't page bob at domain.com, would it know to
remove bob at domain.com from the rule?

I'm assuming it doesn't, as otherwise, I assume it would know they are
individual addresses and pass them individually to mail....
