Incorporate either Blat or Bmail into a script and set up free email software on a server with IIS installed.

Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 9:40 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] OT: Server Monitoring I want to check exchange servers and file servers to see if the server itself is up or down and then get notified. Monitoring the file servers works great with servers alive, but if the exchange server is down then I won't get a page. All my users send mail via the exchange server. No one uses any other type of SMTP mail and we do not rely on the ISP for anything but connectivity. Does anyone have a SMTP script that I might be able to use to send notifications if the mail server is down? Justin A.

Can you send SMTP mail directly upstream to your ISP from another machine, or only from the email server ? What exactly are you trying to check ? Is it an exhcange server and you want to check individual stores / connections ? do you just want to check an smtp server ?
