Is there any way to have a cron job check a mail account to see if there is new mail waiting, and if there is to send an email to a specific email address? It would be great if I could have an email sent to my pager or phone when I have to check the support email box.


Any help would really help me out.

Thanks

If the response you like to get for "you have mail" is an email, why not forward the email to wherever you'd like the new email notification sent to?

Write a perl script which checks you mailbox-size, if the size is bigger since the last check, send a message to your pager. You can run this script by a cron job very easily.
