Chris,
If it is not what Ron suggested, there is also the downreport script, which sends summary emails of the state of your router.db files.

Assuming that I understand the question correctly, RANCID will e-mail that info to 'rancid-<groupname>' on the local machine. You then define the 'rancid-<groupname>' alias in /etc/aliases and define who should receive the e-mails.
Example:
You've added devices to a group called CompanyA. RANCID will send the e-mail to thel address of 'rancid-CompanyA' on the local machine. Within /etc/aliases, you might have a line such as:
rancid-CompanyA ***@example.com<mailto:***@example.com>
Note: This is a very simple example as I applied it to an older version of RANCID. Caveat emptor.

Guys
Where is that you set Rancid to email a list of routers etc that it cant get the config for? I know it can be done and just cant find for the life of me where this is, had a look in the rancid.conf file and cant see anything obvious in there
