hi ya wyatt ???

what do you mean  too by "good package"....
        - 1 minute of wrk to get it to do soemthing...
        - a couple days to test/configure/"understand"  it??

in psuedo code... run it from cron... however often you want
to check

ping mail.your_domain.com
if ( $error ) mail -s "mail died" you < /dev/null


with expect or perl ???

telnet mail.your_domain.com 25
quit
if ( $error ) mail -s "mail died" you < /dev/null

if you are pokng around at user mail....geez... i wouldnt wanna 
be working there... though as a boss ... i'd like to know if
people are working or surfing/searching the web....
