Hi Luca You can check with check_smtp if smtp ports are reacting, but this wil not tell you that your mail handling is correctly.
There's a plugin for this check "check_email_loop.pl" It can be download from www.nagiosexchange.com Maybe this is a solution for you. I didn't use it for myself but....... # Example: check_email_loop.pl -poph=mypop -popu=user -pa=password # -smtph=mailer [EMAIL PROTECTED] # [EMAIL PROTECTED] -pendc=2 -lostc=0 # This example will send eacht time this check is executed a new # mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] using the SMTP-Host mailer. # Then it looks for any back-forwarded mails in the POP3 host # mypop. In this Configuration CRITICAL state will be reached if # more than 2 Mails are pending (meaning that they did not came # back till now) or if a mails got lost (meaning a mail, that was # send later came back prior to another mail). (...)
