Here is the scenario: I'm doing an email mail test that seeds a local account with a test message. This test message is forwarded to an external account, which in turn forwards the message back to the local account. This round trip can take up to 5 minutes. The way the plugin works is to send a new serialized message to the local account, then test for receipt of the previously sent message.</DIV> <DIV style="COLOR: #000000"> </DIV> <DIV style="COLOR: #000000">I want to be notified as soon as possible if this test fails. What settings should I use for normal_check_interval and retry_check_interval? </DIV></BODY></HTML>
