Email notification of moderation queue

[griffman]

We have a system setup on our site whereby a new user's first two posts go into the moderation queue. After approval and publication of those two posts, the user automatically becomes a normal registered member (so far, this has basically solved our spam problem).

However, it's a pain to have to open the moderation queue panel to check for new threads/posts on a regular basis. I'd love a way to send an email when there's an entry in the queue, or maybe just display an indicator on a vBulletin page that only the mods could see.

Anything out there that does similar that I could hack into such a tool?

Thanks;
