Hi all,
I am aware of the smtp.monitor but am still unsure/unconvinced that this is enough to detect if my mon monitors have lost the capability to deliver email to the administrators.
There are many things that can go wrong in the email delivery chain, making it undependable for alerts of an urgent nature. Better to use qpage.alert to send TAP/IXO text messages to a pager. Use a modem directly connected to your mon host, and connected to a direct copper phone line to further minimize things that can go wrong.
We use this technique as well as email-based paging, and most of the time the modem-transmitted messages get to the pagers faster.
