Possibly OT, but if this *is* the intent of the OP, this particular
package works very well for me in our Exchange environment:

http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Plugins/Email-and-Groupware/check_email_delivery/details

It will alert on failure of any part of the email path (submission,
routing, delivery), as well as the latency from submission to
delivery.

HTH,
