Yes. There are two other options you can use. 1) Just check that the server
answer on the port and not run the protocol (smtp) test or 2) use send/expect
which allow you to send whatever you want to the server
(http://mmonit.com/monit/documentation/monit.html#connection_testing) I.e.
if failed host 192.168.1.100 port 25
expect "^220.*\r\n"
send "ELO localhost.localdomain\r\n"
expect "^250.*\r\n"
send "QUIT\r\n"
expect "^221.*\r\n"
then alert
