Warren,  is there a way just to have it forward Date Time, To\from email
address and subject?

I have used the evaluation copy of Kerio Mailserver and found it to do this
but I don't like the idea off 900 dollars for a licence, so I was curious if
there was a way to do it with qmail toaster. Ive been reading around on the
net about the Biff program that comes with qmail and sends notification to
the terminal of the server when a logged in user gets email. Am I headin
somewhat in the right direction?

Thanks Again,

Andy

My cell phone is a blackberry, so I actually have the mail forwarded to
my cellphone.  In the US on tmobile, it is [EMAIL PROTECTED] - you
just go into qmailadmin for the email address in question, under
Routing, click BOTH Forward To and Save a copy, then enter the email
address of the phone into the field next to "forward to".

Andy,

As qmail is a source-code distribution, it shouldn't be very hard to do what you have asked. I can think of 3 ways to do this off the top of my head
(1) Modify the source code
(2) Make your own program and have it called whenever a mail comes in
(3) Find a program that will monitor the IMAP mailbox(es) that you are interested in that will do this for you and keep that program running.

If you want to go the route of (2) it should be a pretty easy script to write in perl that monitors the mailbox(es) and keeps the time of the last message stored in a file somewhere.  It runs once per minute in cron and checks the mailbox(es) and if it finds anything it send you the info that you want.

Considering that I am giving up my blackberry in the near future to change to verizon (better coverage on Long Island) and a RAZR phone most likely, I will end up having to write this myself, so you might even have one ready within the month.
