> Systems like Nagios do a fine job of making sure that an SMTP server is

> rejections (I think policyd died), a quick reboot solved the problem.

> I want to know about this before the phone rings.

> To me: a logical solution would be a program that sends emails every 10
> minutes to itself through a relay, then checks its account via POP3 to
> make sure it got the message. If it doesn't get the email with 5 minutes
> it starts alerting me through SMS, fax, phone call whatever.
