<DIV>Hi,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>We have a Nagios server setup to send mail through our ISP's email
server. The ISP uses SMTP authentication. The ISP has been pretty
flakey lately in keeping their email server up and running, to send emails for
their customers, in this geographic region.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We would like to setup a Nagios check to watch the SMTP <SPAN
class=966245318-02052010>authentication</SPAN>. Sometimes they change
their ports...among other problems. If we can get a check running, we can
see the alert in the Nagios GUI that there is a problem, though we (of course)
would not receive the email that there is a problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Not sure where to start with this check. Looking for best practices
and, hopefully, a code example.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><BR>Thank You,<BR>SHD</DIV></BODY></HTML>
