Check out check_email_delivery:

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

It will check email *delivery*, not just listening on a port - from
email submission via SMTP through the reception of the same email
to a mailbox via POP3 or IMAP, and will alert upon problems at any
phase in the process.
