SMTP Protocol Settings and Features  

Check an SMTP server to ensure it is running and accepting connections according to RFC 821, and send a test email if configured to do so.

Host - The fully qualified domain name or IP address of the server to be tested.

Monitor Description (optional) - Whatever you want to call this monitored service to uniquely identify it from the others.

Service Port - The port number the service you are testing is listening on. This defaults to the standard port of this service.

Email Address (optional) - Our "Bees" will test the service using this email address as the To: address.

Max. Timeout (optional) - The maximum number of seconds that our "Bees" will wait for a connection or to receive data, before the test is considered a failure.

Paranoid Mode (optional) - When enabled, our system will notify you if it finds any hiccups with the particular services that this feature is enabled on. Be careful, if the service you set paranoid on is quirky, you will get a lot of alerts!
