[hobbit] Alert config issue or question -- 4.2 Alpha Release (and 4.03 Rc1)

[Charles Jones]

Not sure if this could be the problem, but your DURATION parameter in 
the MAIL line just says "DURATION>6". Maybe hours is the default, and 
you need to change it to DURATION>6m (like your second use of it on the 
last line)?
