Goodmorning,
My Nagios server is getting better & better.
I would like to thank you for your support so far
But, (there is always a but..) I got another question.
we have a Exchange 2010 server, which connects to an anti-spam server which connects to the outsite.
I want to make an advanced mail flow test to an external server. (like hotmail or gmail)
i need a script or idea to monitor:
-Mails that have been send by my Exchange 2010 server to an external server + check if the mail is successfully recieved.
-Mail thats have been send by an external server + check if the mail is succesfully recieved in my Exchange 2010.
i love to hear your ideas!
Kind regards,
Martijn

Re: non-basic mail flow checker
Thank you for your reaction,
i looked into this scripts, but this script are'nt enough. for example: the 'check email send' gives an OK status even when the mail is send to an unexisting mail adress.
i want/(need!) the full control of the mail cycle (from sender mailbox to recieve mailbox and vice versa.) Even if this means i need to create another mail server with an external adress.
Kinds regards,
Martijn

Yes it sounds like you're going to need to create your own plugin / checking method here.

Re: non-basic mail flow checker
well, i did some research and i managed to create a workaround.
i am monitoring the incomming and outgoing mailqueue's of our spam appliance so that will cover the outsite mail.
Now to monitor the rest of the mailflow i used the build-in 'mail delivery plugin' and used the SMTP server and the IMAP server of our own Exchange server.
I stil need to make some documentation about this, but my problems are solved
