heh... I agree. Below is what I use for email alerts. It goes through all /var/log/*snort* directories (if you have more than one instance of snort running), but you may need to adjust path or filter name. Also, make sure you have: output log_ascii: in your snort.conf and that you run it with "-l /var/log/snort-something -d" (application layer dump comes in really handy. Further replace mailsubj with sendmail or whatever else you use. I suggest using cron to run this every minute.
