Hobbit doesn't invoke sendmail directly, at least not with the default
configuration. Hobbit calls the command defined via the MAIL and MAILC
settings in hobbitserver.cfg to send e-mail, this is typically the
"mail" or "mailx" programs.

They in turn will probably invoke sendmail. However, if running the
standard "mail" utility fails, then IMNSHO you have more severe mail 
problems with your setup than just Hobbit.

You should probably look at writing a small wrapper around your mail
system that support sending e-mail with a subject on the command line,
and then point the MAIL and MAILC settings in Hobbit to that wrapper.
