If you want the tarball you can get it from http://www.nongnu.org/mailnotify/
sudo apt-get build-dep mail-notification This will grab most of the dependencies sudo apt-get install libssl-dev This will grab the necessary files to enable ssl support. then the usual ./configure && make followed by sudo make install You have to log out and back in again for it to work otherwise you get an error message.
