-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Nightduke,
in my opinion it's not sufficient enough to check if a service is listening on the port 25. Because Spamdyke might answer, but the services behind, like qmail might be down. So we really check if a mail is sent and look for it's delivery success with IMAP. Anyway i would really recommend to use Nagios. As you said you have several servers and more to watch than just one service. In the nagios configuration-files you can include files and directories. So if you set up a template for your hosts, it's quite easy to add other machines dynamically, or even with bash-scripts. At first sight, the nagios configuration looks complicated and might be a nightmare - if you're sleeping. :-D But minimizing the functionality, like in your case to just watching one service, it's nothing. My nagios even starts every service thats down within 5 minutes... nagios can be more, than just a reporter of downtimes.
