Does this mean i need to configure my destination to bounce my email
back?

No, the plugin will POP the account you specify to see if the messages
arrived.

I see that the plugin doesn't support SMTP Auth. Looking at
http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/libnet-1.20/Net/SMTP.pm, at first glance
it would seem to be pretty straightforward to add a
$smtp->auth(<username>,<password>) to the script around line 125 to
support that. An attempted patch is attached. I don't have access to an
SMTP Auth server to test so YMMV.

1 out of 4 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file check_email_loop.pl.rej


The check_email_loop.pl.rej and the patched check_email_loop script is attached.

Did the patch succeed or not?

Thanks, Mario
