Notify on new drafts or posts

I am looking for a plugin that will send an email when there is a new draft or post.

The problem is, I tried a couple and they do not seem to work.

I am using a plugin that imports content and creates draft posts. I am guessing the notify plugins do not work because the plugin must not be using the normal user interface, so the notify plugin does not get called. I am guessing I need something to scan the posts and email. ??
