there is no email function exported by native kamailio modules. You can 
use some embedded language to do it, like Lua (see app_lua module), or 
perl, python, C#... Executed an embedded script is better that using the 
alternative of running a script/application via exec module, which can 
be an alternative.

Because sending an email can take time, I would suggest you do it from a 
dedicated process, like using a combination of mqueue - rtimer modules 
-- add the allert message to a message queue, consume it from a rtimer 
process to send the email message.

Cheers,
Daniel
