Push email to mobile devices

Is anyone have a push email setup to their mobile devices from a gentoo server handling email?
If so, what ebuilds did you use?

Depends on your mail setup..
I have just added my mobile email to /etc/mail/aliases and it forwards mail to the address..
root: my@mobileaddress.com
webmaster: root
www: root
user1: my@mobileaddress2.com

Is this what you are looking to do?

So that would forward to the device.

I know versamail on the Treo Devices can work with an SMS based message to trigger a synchronize to pull email (so it really isn't a push email per se).

I know exchange server has push mail capabilities.
