It made the method very unstable. At this moment in time I'm using one based around twitter and SMTP. I noticed twitter supply free sms alerts to o2 so I created two accounts a sms account and a feed account. I set it up so duffy(at)sms.tuts4tech.net goes to procmail which then tweets the email subject on the feed account. The sms account is following the feed account and has SMS alerts enabled so when the feed account tweets anything I get an SMS :) I run a smokeping server and enabled SMTP alerts which resulted in me being alerted if a server went down or if packet loss was experienced to it.
