    Im a student intern, as a project my boss asked me to monitor 2 incoming WAN pipes, I currently get email notifications every 24 hours, with some network stats, the usual info, and I get instant notifications if the wan monitoring ping fails or exceeds a certain threshold.

    What I'm interested in doing is setting up a very plain jane in-house website that automatically updates its page with the contents of this email I get, so that others may view the stats ...any idea how I might do this ?

    regards :D
