This is not a native feature of any Windows OS. But you could
write a script that periodically checks for a new session and have
it send an email message. There's a freeware utility called blat,
which I use for automated email notifications.

Depends on the OS version on your Terminal Server.
If W2K: no. If 2003: yes.
