Check_SMTP plugin Problem

[Kaplan, Andrew H.]

Hi there -

 

I want to monitor the status of our Sendmail server, and I plan on using the
check_smtp plugin. When I manually run the plugin using the following syntax:

 

./check_smtp -H <hostname>

 

The output I get is the following:

 

Connection refused

SMTP CRITICAL - 0.000 sec. response time|time=0.000473s;;;0.000000

 

The server is outside the company's firewall, but it is able to be monitored via
port 5666. What steps can I take to enable the use of this plugin? The Nagios

server are both version 2.6. Thanks.
