Ive made a batch script that connect to this mail list via telnet and scans for emails with the subject " [hlds] Team Fortress 2 Update Available". When it detects that email in the pop box the script stops all the TF2 services and updates them then restarts them when they are finished updating.
Its pretty basic batch scripting that any novice should be able to figure out.
