You're probably going to have to write this yourself.  Sounds like an
excellent opportunity for a perl/expect plugin.  ;-)

We are working on migrating off of Sitescope... <insert reasons here>...

Anyways We have almost got all of the services working, but I have not
found one yet to replace:

"External Email Loop Monitor"

Here are the details of this monitor:
"The SiteScope Mail Monitor checks a Mail Server via the network. It
verifies that the mail server is accepting requests, and also verifies that
a message can be sent and retrieved. It does this by sending a standard
mail message using SMTP and then retrieving that same message via a POP
user account. Each message that SiteScope sends includes a unique key which
it checks to insure that it does not retrieve the wrong message and return
a false OK reading. If SiteScope is unable to complete the entire loop it
generates an error message.


Each time the Mail Monitor runs, it returns a status and writes it in the
<SiteScope install path>/SiteScope/logs/SiteScope.log file. It also writes
the total time it takes to send and receive the mail message in the log
file."





Anyone know of a current monitor to replace this?
