Sending and monitoring email

[Mark McWhinney]

Pardon the newbie question, but I need to know if Nagios will do what I
need before investing time and effort in it.

I need to monitor an email sync management system where I send an email
to the server and measure the time it takes to get synced to a device.
The email send is SMTP.  The receive is an HTTP push to the device.

Can Nagios be set up to 
- wake up every five minutes
- send an email
- start a transaction timer
- go into a passive wait for an HTTP message
- get and process the HTTP message
- stop the timer and report the time difference?

If so, would you be kind enough to point me to the features of Nagios
that I would need to set up the email send and passive HTTP wait?
