Have you considered using a SNMP deamon and check for alert conditions using that.
There are already quite a few commercial status monitoring tools around (Nagios/SolarWinds/Cacti come to mind) that can send SMS/email etc. alerts whenever a number of conditions arise, monitor and graph trends and the like.

MAILPING-LATENCY(1) Mailping MAILPING-LATENCY(1)
NAME
mailping-latency - Munin plugin to graph latency of mail deliveries
SYNOPSIS
/usr/share/mailping/munin-plugins/mailping-latency {[config] | ['']}
DESCRIPTION
mailping-latency is a Munin plugin that monitors the time spent between email submit and it's delivery.
Configuration output
When passed config, it outputs Munin configuration information. If there are no circuits defined (no subdirectories in /etc/mailping), it
specifies that Munin should draw no graph either.
If configuration files /etc/mailping/circuit/warnlatency and /etc/mailping/circuit/faillatency exist, the values in them are passed on to
Munin, for use in Nagios alert integration.
Value output
When passed an empty string '', mailping-latency outputs latency of last successful probe message, for each configured circuit.
FILES
/etc/mailping/
List of circuits that exist; each subdirectory is a circuit.
/etc/mailping/circuit/warnlatency
If latency is greater than this many seconds, a Nagios warning is triggered by Munin (assuming it has been configured to do that).
Default: no warnings.
/etc/mailping/circuit/faillatency
If latency is greater than this many seconds, a Nagios alert is triggered by Munin (assuming it has been configured to do that).
Default: no alerts.
/var/lib/mailping/state/circuit/latency
Amount of latency in seconds of the last successful probe for circuit.
ENVIRONMENT
MAILPING_CONFIGDIR
Override the location of the configuration directory. Default: /etc/mailping
MAILPING_STATEDIR
Override the location of the state directory. Circuit states are stored in the state subdirectory of this directory, in subdirectories
named after the circuit name. Default: /var/lib/mailping
