check_smtp issues

[Julie S. Lin]

Hi All

Sorry for the incomplete info, I do know better, really.  Pls forgive.

Anyways, below is the result I get when I manually run check_smtp
from my plugins directory.  This is on a redhat es4 machine running 1.2
nagios
(yes, very outdated I know).

[root at xxx plugins]# ./check_smtp mail.xxx.com
Socket timeout after 10 seconds
[root at xxx plugins]# ./check_smtp mail.yyy.com
SMTP OK - 0 second response time

* so check_smtp fails on one mail server but not the other
mail.xxx.com is behind the same firewall as the nagios server
but on a different network....
mail.yyy.com is on another network outside of the firewall
is there anything I should know about having nagios check_smtp server within
a firewall??

And of course, mail is working just fine.

You should tell us what the problem is. Be very specific. We can't help
if we don't know and we aren't going to guess.
