Sending messages on received E-Mails

Hi list!

I have configured Openfire 4.0.3 on a server at work.

Now we have to bind Jira to Openfire to having the user messaged on new Issues and so on.

I couldn’t find any Jira-Plugin for Openfire, so I’m looking for a way to forward the E-Mails that Jira sends to the Jabber-account of the user.

Unfortunately I couldn’t find a way to do that, too…

Can someone suggest me a program/plugin/whatever that receives E-Mails an forward them via XMPP?

Thanks

Luca
