Actually, what I used on CentOS 5 was the below mentioned software. 
Before that, i.e. on EL 4, I believe something else was included in the 
main distro, but I don't remember what.

Well, it is actually included in EPEL 5, but not 6.

I tried both binary and source rpms from EPEL5, but it didn't work too 
well. Actually, the problem wasn't mail-notification itself, but rather 
eel2, which it requires. This used to be part of the main distribution, 
but isn't any more. Binaries from past versions have dependencies that 
are hard to resolve, and an attempt to rebuild from source rpm failed 
with the below error messages. Maybe I can find away around this, but I 
don't have time to try right now...
