How can i send a notify message to another e-mail address about that I've

I'm going to assume that you're probably sending this to a text-enabled
pager or the account which is being emailed is really low volume -
otherwise, why not set up a plain forward or a fetchmail process from the
remote account and just pull the email on over to where you regularly read
mail...
I cannot find any examples regarding this,
Huh, that's a surprise - I'd have thought the archives to be teeming with them.
I cannot find information on what your config is (or even if it is
installed on your system, configured as the LDA, etc), and whether you have
_any_ experience with procmail.
i.e. is this supposed to be a "tell me which file to put where" , or just
the raw recipe. I'll give you just the raw recipe, since the rest of this
should be readily available by reading the man pages and the various FAQs.
Take "from" address and name.
FROM, SENDER, or REPLY-TO ? All often referred to as "from" by some folks.
Send a notification to my_other_address(_at_)another_isp(_dot_)dk(_dot_)
The note should be: "You've got mail from " + from_e-mail_address + from_name.
For the sake of such notification, unless you have a database of names &
addresses (to deal with all those instances where someone may just send
mail without a name), you may just as well send the whole darn "From:" header.
# big block of "get these items into variables because we like to
# use them so often and they're easier to manage this way."
# you don't need all of these (just the $FROM in fact), but this is
# simply a nice thing to have in the procmailrc for any other recipes
# anyway...
