I want to thank all who replied and close the loop...
I upgraded the server's monit version to 5.25.1 (latest in the repos at
the time) and syntax was deemed OK. I looked through the release notes
and didn't find any mention of this from v5.14 (the version I was
originally using) forward, but I guess it was fixed at some point.
I have not tested the backup mailserver yet (maybe I'll purposely change
my credentials on the primary to test that).
This pseudo-example is apparently syntactically correct:
set mailserver smtp.domain1.com port 587
username [email protected] password "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
smtp.domain2.com port 465
username admin2 password "yyyyyyyyyyy"
using SSL
with timeout 10 seconds

I do use postfix. I read the SASL info, but I didn't notice a way
to configure multiple defaults. I can look at that again. (One
thing I'm trying to monitor is postfix! 🙂)
Still, if monit supports multiple mailhosts and it supports smtp
auth, it should support multiple mailhosts each with auth.

Well. You'll have more luck doing that in postfix or whatever you
use to relay email. Did you look at ssmtp?

<http://www.scottro.net/qnd/qnd-ssmtp.html>
Can't remember if it supports multiple auth or protocols.

I tried something similar (I moved the timeout to the one
clause at the end). That didn't work. So it's not only
"probably" not that syntax, it's definitely not that syntax.
And I read the docs. As you noticed, it does NOT document how
to supply the auth and protocol per server, which is a very
common requirement.
I should have commented that I'm currently running v5.14.

Documentation clearly says
-- Example (setting two mail servers for failover):
set mailserver smtp.gmail.com <http://smtp.gmail.com>,
smtp.other.host
So it's probably
set mailserver smtp.domain1.com <http://smtp.domain1.com> port
587, smtp.domain2.com <http://smtp.domain2.com> port 465
etcetera

I am attempting to configure multiple (backup)
mailserver's. Each has a unique username and password, and
in fact, each has different ports, protocols, etc.
I have tried this:
set mailserver smtp.domain1.com <http://smtp.domain1.com>
port 587
username [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>
password "xxxxxxxxxx"
with timeout 30 seconds,
smtp.domain2.com <http://smtp.domain2.com> port 465
username otheruser password "yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"
using SSL with timeout 30 seconds
This results in a configuration syntax error.
Can someone help me figure out how to configure my
mailservers?
Thanks!
