Yes, I know. I wrote, that this is only a workaround for the missing 
alert. When I leave out the "prefer" statement in the above example, the 
alert only works for the host on the "linux" page.
I tested my configuration with the (patched) hobbitd_alert program:

$ bbcmd hobbitd_alert --test my.mail.host --color=red disk

Matching host:service:page 'my.mail.host:--color=red:linux'
*** Match with 'PAGE=linux' ***
Matching host:service:page 'my.mail.host:--color=red:linux'
Failed 'PAGE=mail' (pagename not in include list)

When I add the "prefer" option to the host on the mail page, I get

Matching host:service:page 'my.mail.host:--color=red:mail
Failed 'PAGE=linux' (pagename not in include list)
Matching host:service:page 'my.mail.host:--color=red:mail
*** Match with 'PAGE=mail' ***

So, what can I do to get the alert function working for BOTH pages?
