I would like to set up a cron job to automatically check whether my mailserver 
and webserver are up, and tell me if they're not.

This script tells me if my webserver is up:

#!/bin/bash
wget -q --tries=10 --timeout=20 --spider http://melvilletheatre.com
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
         echo "Online"
else
         echo "Offline"
fi

How can I do the something similar with my mailserver?

Or if someone knows of an integrated tool that will monitor this in a better 
way (whatever that may be), I'm more than interested.

Hello

I use Nmap to test if a server up in a port:

$ nmap -p587 a.mail.server |grep -i 587

587/tcp open  submission

Or several ports:

$ nmap -p25,143,587 a.mail.server |grep -i open
25/tcp  open  smtp
143/tcp open  imap
587/tcp open  submission

If the server is working, the port is shown as open. You can parse it as desired to message you as you want

Best
