Let me know when mail was NOT received to the mail (for successful DB backup for example)

I have a site I'm building and have a DB backup running on it several times a day.

Every successful backup is sent to my mail (and directed by a rule to a folder since there are many backups..) and every failure is also sent to me (not directed by a rule).

I'm afraid that the task will stop running from some reason and I will not know (no alerts arriving but how can I notice it in the blur of mails).

Is there a SW or process that alerts me when a mail was not received during a specific time?

The reason I'm asking here is that I want to develop this kind of thing (if does not exist). Thanks

You cannot know, unless you create something for yourself. E.g. a rule to auto-reply the received message (at receiver's mailbox). Your program (that sent the e-mail) should check his own mailbox within x seconds for the reply after sending.

Normally it is just a send and goodbye system, unless the e-mail box is full, unreachable, etc.
