Do you know a simple script that can do email round trip monitoring ?

  • I want to monitor email service on A.
  • I install the script on B.
  • B sends an email to A
  • A sends an auto-reply to B
  • B knows that email service is working well.
  • B restarts this test every 30min.
  • If B didn't received replies, it sends an alert message.
  • B could also monitor round-trip delay of emails.

I have not access to the email service, I can only ask new end user email and configure auto-reply.

B is an Ubuntu. Thanks!
