Mailing you: wackamole logs these things via syslog (daemon.notice).   
So you could feasibly configure syslog to mail you or some other  
facility connected to syslog.

Not sure I understand the second question, but if you are asking "how  
do I make wackamole do neat tricks when its IP configuration  
changes?" the answer is through plugins.  It supports plugins via C  
and perl.
