Pablo,

	I highly doubt this is explicitly available in iptables.  However,
in order to get the job done, there are several methods you could use.  A
simple one might be to take the existing log that iptables creates (or grep
the relevant material out of the syslog), and mail the result.  Put a cron
job on this script at your desired frequency, and that should accomplish
your goals.

Helpful reference material: `man iptables`, `man grep`, `man crontab`, `man
sh`, `man perl`....
