You can leverage cron(8) to do this notification for you, as the standard 
output of pulledpork is suitable for an email notification.

1. Set MAIL variable in your crontab(5)
2. Profit

Alternately you can pipe the output of pulledpork into mail(1) or similar to 
more granularly control the mail output.

Thanks for your feedback.
Your suggestion would be a easy step but it also gives a lot of "SPAM", meaning 
that you will get a mail  at each scheduled run even when no new rules are 
downloaded.

A simple flag could be set when rules were downloades and applied to your 
system and at the end the flag could be read and a mail would be send or not.

Settings such as smtp server, sender, receiver etc could be applied to the 
conf-file
