I just installed my servers at a data center, including an 8500 running
SIMS (very well).

The data center offers to do both ICMP ping and http check. Since SIMS has
a small built in web server running on port 80, I could arrange to have it
http checked; my question is whether or not the status of the webserver
(ie, responding to http queries or not) is a good proxy indicator of
whether SIMS is functioning as a mail server?

That is, would the http check give me any better monitoring of whether SIMS
is functioning as a mail server than just the ICMP ping?

thanks,
steven
