IDS: Snort & email

["Dan S Baxter" <Dan.Baxter () ipaper com>]

I'm setting up a Snort sensor in our environment and I am unable to
determine how I might get emailed on alerts.  I understand some are using
Swatch, but we are not logging to syslogs but rather to a mysql db.  What
are others doing in this case?

If I can't get it to alert me, it doesn't do me as much good, as I do not
have the time to watch it 24/7.
