There's often problem with our postfix mail server (that runs Cyrus

I have scripts (using mutt) to send hourly mails out (& from
another postfix server, I can send mails to it).
I need a way / method such that if those hourly test mails were
never sent out or received, I'll need to be alerted. Let me know the
freeware tools& method to go about doing this?
Look into a monitoring solution like Nagios, Cacti, etc. You'll want to
communicate failure of the email system over some non-mail communication
channel (such as Jabber/XMPP alerts).
