[hobbit] How do I change the "mail from" for email alerts?

[Smith, Jim]

I'm using AIX and the standard email included with it.  I have never had
an issue like this, and I didn't have to do any special configuration to
email when I installed Hobbit.

I can't tell you how to fix it, but it is definitely up to exim4 and  
not Hobbit/Xymon to control this. I'm using Postfix, which is  
configured to pull addresses from a user's entry in LDAP and if that  
address changes, the from address on our alerts changes.

Because it screws up the order in which people normally read text.
