Exim alerts to service like Pushover for iOS

Hey We have a server that from time to time gets hit with spam, sometimes its an open script, sometimes its a user with a weak password. We've all been there. The mail queue can fill up quite fast, i dont feel mail alerts are the best method as it relies on the same process thats having issues (not catching this in time has caused me issues in the past). Does anyone know of a way to ping a service like pushover, or any notification service that i can send a curl or wget request to in order to notify my mobile device that for example the mail queue is over 50. Thanks for any help in advance. Regards

  Hello :) You could utilize a third-party service such as Pushbullet: Pushbullet - Your devices working better together Note there's no native notification for the number of emails in the queue. Thank you.

  do you know of a way to get the current number of emails in the exim queue?

  
  The following command will provide a count of the number of emails in the queue:
  exim -bpc
  Thank you.
