How to monitor the health of the MailScanner architecture

[Alistair Carmichael]

Certainly worth exploring since that would reduce the
dependecies/ickiness of the checking part (expecting ones way through
even the simplest textbased MUA can be ... frustrating:-). And as you
say, it would be easy to script and would probably scale rather OK
(scriptwise... One message per MS server... Not the query bit:) with
several MS servers...

Here's one I nocked together in a few mins, this is NOT for people to
download and run but feel free to download, edit for your setup and play
with. It is gziped and you download / run at your own risk I accept no
responsibility for what anyone does with this script on their system,
any tips or revisions feel free to mail me off list.
It uses very basic *nix commands and was created on a centos box, no
reason why it shouldn't run without altering the paths on other linux /
unix o/s.
If I get some more time I'll put some proper comments and error checking
in.
