Actually, the "correct" way would be to use a SMTP probe (even a POP3 one) this would quite definitely show that SIMS is in fact responding to port 25 (and 110). I believe there are a few solutions out there that can do this - I use InterMapper <http://www.InterMapper.com/> an expensive; but, absolutely the best network mapping and monitoring software there is. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
