It seems to me that without procmail your notifier will be usable only
if you get no more than a few emails a day. The normal linux-il
traffic alone will swamp your phone unless you read it as digest ;-)
Not only that, do you *really* need or want your cell phone to beep
for every odd email, including spam, that arrives in your mailbox?

You say you don't have access to the computer that runs the POP3
service. Fine. However, I assume you do have access to a computer that
runs the POP3 client for you, and where you have sendsms
installed. Rather than write the whole thing in perl, have you thought
of simply running fetchmail or equivalent on it, and use
procmail to invoke sendsms on emails you want to be notified of, such
as critical failures on the computer system you administer.
