If not, I could see how it could be done through scripting and an open SMTP relay, but the logic looks to be rather complicated. So option 1 above is definitely preferable.
Said employee is not capable of resetting a device!

Tell him it is remotely operated by email, and if you dont get an email every 30 mins he will get a shock
Seriously, he is working to a different cultural standard. "Soon Come" has a sense of urgency just after "Manana"
Perhaps a small bribe might help? $1 per email whilst "on the job"?
He is working to a standard that is not acceptable in aviation... I love the dog collar idea but fear it is illegal for use on him - otherwise I would love to use it!

I am interested in the above gobledeguuk!
I have already bought the idiot an iPad which he uses for facebook. It needs my internet/IT chap to get this up and running... any further information on scripting and open relay would be appreciated...
(I barely know what scripting is in English yet alone what open relay is - I have to translate this concept in to their language and be convincing!)
