Mike,

WE are all Nagios shop though I will keep Zappix as an option and give
it a shot finally. I dont know if you are familiar with SiteScope. It
has an option where you can specify the mail servers so it sends a
test mail every X minutes. Throws an alert upon a failure. I am
looking for a equivalent open source option.

Randy,

Thats what I am looking for. Do you have a special nagios plugin to do
or some script. I cant find any info on both nagios and groundworks
forums. Whatever the case, please send me the details. thank you.

Doug,

I don't know if its possible in Nagios.
