Re: [Nagios-users] Email echo monitoring
yes please. I was going to write something similar but if you've already done the work.. C'mon, people, where did you look? http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Email-and-Groupware/check_email_delivery/details This package contains multiple plugins, that when they are all set up, will check your mail delivery system end-to-end. While the initial configuration gave me some gray hairs, it has been monitoring our Exchange environment for many months now and has caught everything I'd expect it to.

Re: [Nagios-users] Email echo monitoring
Thanks for the reply, this saved me a lot of extra work. No worries... Configuration was a pain, but it works *very* well. It will alert when the message sent is not received, as well as when message delivery latency exceeds your thresholds. Very nice. NOTE: Make it a part of your scheduled maintenance to manually check the inbox of the account you're delivering to - there *will* be occasional timeouts, and the test messages can tend to accumulate if you don't have a method to clean them up periodically.

Shane I currently doing a similar thing to check for delivery delay and did not find any existing plugins that do that. I wrote a couple of scripts one to send email via gmail with the time stamp in the subject field and a second script to check the Exchange mailbox and calculate diffelrence between the received time stamp and the sent time stamp in the subject field. I completed these scripts and need to finish the last script to calculate the delay and pass the values it to Nagios. The scripts are written in perl, if you are interested I will post them.
