Hi All Sorry for the incomplete info, I do know better, really. Pls forgive.
Anyways, below is the result I get when I manually run check_smtp from my plugins directory. This is on a redhat es4 machine running 1.2 nagios (yes, very outdated I know). [EMAIL PROTECTED] plugins]# ./check_smtp mail.xxx.com Socket timeout after 10 seconds [EMAIL PROTECTED] plugins]# ./check_smtp mail.yyy.com SMTP OK - 0 second response time * so check_smtp fails on one mail server but not the other mail.xxx.com is behind the same firewall as the nagios server but on a different network.... mail.yyy.com is on another network outside of the firewall is there anything I should know about having nagios check_smtp server within a firewall?? And of course, mail is working just fine. > mail -v [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: foo .

You should tell us what the problem is. Be very specific. We can't help if we don't know and we aren't going to guess. -- Marc ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
