You can setup auto-reply on a mailbox that lives in the store you're monitoring, send it an email and see if you get back the expected reply.

There is so much that can go wrong in Exchange that sending it an actual email and checking to see if you get the expected response is much more reliable than monitoring indirect statistics and settings.
