Reverse checks possible?

Alright, I finally figured it out.

Here, for what it is worth, is a reverse check for SMTP

define command{
        command_name    check_reverse_smtp
        command_line    $USER1$/negate
"/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_smtp -H $HOSTADDRESS$"
        }

define service{
        use                             local-service
        host_name                  mail.yourDomain.com
        service_description      SMTP_reverse_check
        check_command         check_reverse_smtp
        }

Of course, it goes without saying, but your mileage may vary according
to how your cfg files are laid out.

Thanks, Israel, Demetri, and Patrick. I really appreciate your help!
