    What sort of intrusion are you seeking to detect?

    Port scanning would be best handled first by a hardware solution (e.g.: router) followed up if you choose with a second solution (e.g.: software firewall).

    I already have a router that logs the events, I should have worded my question better(my mistake), Im looking for something that will give me an alert such as tray level, without having to go into the router logs all the time

    Configure your router to forward the SMTP alerts to your mailbox?
