In Ubuntu, how to get email notifications about (software) RAID problems?

In Ubuntu, how to get email notifications about (software) RAID problems? I know getting email notifications should be possible, and perhaps even enabled by default... But how to make sure alerts are properly configured, and if, for any reason, they arent't, how to set them up?

Add MAILADDR username@example.com to /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf, then /etc/init.d/mdadm restart or it'll just start on next boot. There's also a munin plugin if you're running munin with email alerts.

You could write a cron job to scrape the output above and send a mail if something is wrong.
