Hey guys,
Long story short, I wrote a monitoring system to keep an eye on some various systems we use at work.
I need to add to it the ability to monitor two seperate mail servers, one hmail and one exchange.
I can ping them no problem to make sure the server itself is up, but i also want to check the smtp service is running.
Can anyone tell me how i can send a SMTP helo command and read in the response or suggest a different way to achieve this goal?
Thanks!
