I am checking various mail servers for only two things:
(1) smtp works (check_smtp)
(2) are they black listed (check_spamcop)
The hosts appear "down" due to Nagios trying to ping them. Inbound IMCP is
obviously not allowed on these types of hosts.
How can I turn off the ping option and only che

is up or down.
Perfect. Since they're Exchange servers, I changed a vari
