Server Monitoring with the EMAIL Monitor

  1. Monitors
  2. Mail Server Monitoring

Description

This monitor makes roundtrip monitoring of a complete email loop possible. This means that not only an email is sent through your SMTP server, but the correct delivery into the receiver's mailbox is checked as well. It is possible to define threshold values for the duration of delivery and a notification is sent if the email don't arrive at the receiver within the specified time.
Please note, when using this monitor your email infrastructure is only partly responsible for the duration of delivery if the receiver's mailbox is part of a different email infrastructure.
