The way we solve this problem is running cronjobs across the maillogs, looking
for the reject messages for the various domains we care about. Usually we make
this an email to our abuse team, but I'm sure once you get the "does it work?"
result, it could easily be changed into a passive nagios check report.

Subject: [Nagios-users] SMTP check
Anyone know of a way to test mail through-put with out sending an actual
message? The SMTP plugin doesn’t care what it gets for a reply so you don’t
know if the server would have accepted the message. Basically I want to check
every few hours if Hotmail, Yahoo, Google, MSN, etc. will accept messages from
my various mail servers with out having to get accounts on each and clean up
messages. Since a lot of these companies don’t use open DNSBL lists I hopped
someone else would have run into it.
Thank you,
