Hi, if this is about monitoring (rather than just collecting statistics): At some time I had set up a system that would simply send mail via the server and receive it back. If that did not happen (within reasonable time), something might be wrong. Basically the system was 4 separate components (smtp, pop/imap, spam filtering, and a database holding everything together). It occasionally happened that things got stuck, so one could, perhaps, successfully connect to smtp ... but smtp accumulated a pile of messages that SA did not want to process Wolfgang
