passive checks via smtp? or similar

[Matt Johnson]

Hi all,

I'm trying to monitor a host the other side of a very
restrictive firewall.

The host *can* send mail via smtp to the nagios server
(my side). Is there a simple (and not very secure) way
of having nagios expect regular emails from a host, or
it registers that host as unknown or down?

I know this has flaws, but it *seems* to be all I
have..?

Thanks for any advice to think round this one.
