MOM is probably a bit of overkill for something that simple (although thats what I use)
Justin, the products you've looked at should be able to do it, you just need to set up some alternative SMTP routing if the email server is down. 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 ?
