SMTP Test

Using SMTP Authentication for Sending Emails

After the monitoring server has delivered a test email to your mail server, it will log on to your SMTP server to send the test email back to the monitoring server, if log on is successful the monitoring server will indicate that the SMTP test is successful; it will then wait a minute and a half and start over. The monitoring server will repeat the check until the log on is successful or the failed SMTP threshold is reached. If the failed threshold is reached the monitoring server reports the failed SMTP service.
