    It's true there is no 'failmail' submit option (currently),
    but maybe I should add one.

    However, you can implement this yourself by setting jobdonecommand
    to a script that checks for FAIL frames, and if it finds any, sends an email.
    (See attached)

    Regarding the attached script, this should work on both windows and unix..
    just be sure to customize the 'mailto' and 'relay' variables as needed.

    Any errors will show up in the 'jobdonecommand.log' file that appears
    in your job's logdir, which you can view in notepad or with 'more'.
