Monitoring SMTP error messages

[Tom Throckmorton]

Luca,

Recent versions of check_smtp (i'm using version 1.4.0alpha2 out of CVS, 
for example) support response code checking, so that you can do 
something like:

    check_smtp -H mailhost -C "mail from: nagios at your.domain" -R "250"

If your server returns a 451 (or anything other than a 250), the plugin 
will return a WARNING, so you'll probably want to adjust your 
notification_options accordingly.

Hope this helps,

-tt
