Hi Joe, I was wondering when this question was going to be posted, so alas. I was having an issue where email (at my company) was on occassion, for various reasons, slow (i.e. messages were getting stuck either outbound or inbound). Of course by the time this was noticed the user tickets started flying in. So what I ended up doing was writting some scripts (for linux/unix) to do a test that provides a nice little webpage showing typical transaction times for email on a roundtrip basis. One of the biggest problems was that the internal email servers are MSExchange, so theres was little control I had over that portion, other than to show how long an email took to leave my Linux system, then get received back to that system. Works well if your NOC/Helpdesk doesn't mind looking at a webpage on a periodic basis, and I suppose one could modify it to do automated paging. Contact me off list if interested, I don't wish to get to OT here.
