Email echo monitoring

[Polifemo, Salvatore]

Shane

I currently doing a similar thing to check for delivery delay and did
not find any existing plugins that do that.
I wrote a couple of scripts one to send email via gmail "with the time
stamp in the subject field" and a second script to check the Exchange
mailbox and calculate diffelrence between the received time stamp and
the sent time stamp in the subject field. 
I completed these scripts and need to finish the last script to
calculate the delay and pass the values it to Nagios.

The scripts are written in perl, if you are interested I will post them.

Subject: [Nagios-users] Email echo monitoring

Hi,

I would like to monitor email delivery.

I'm using microsoft exchange and I want to automate a message to
echo at esat.net - this is an autoresponding address with an ISP.


Does anyone have a method for this?
