Not sure if this is the preferred (or only) method but what I do is to
run a script from clientlaunch.cfg on the hobbit client. e.g.
 
[sendmail]
        ENVFILE /home/hobbit/client/etc/hobbitclient.cfg
        CMD /home/hobbit/client/ext/sendmail.sh
        LOGFILE /home/hobbit/client/logs/hobbitclient.log
        INTERVAL 5m

The sendmail.sh script runs a mailstats command and uses the bb command
to send it the hobbit server.
The only server configuration is to make sure that the word 'sendmail'
appears in the TEST2RRD and GRAPHS definitions in hobbitserver.cfg.
