Hi list, I am running a mailserver with exim, courier-pop, courier-imap and squirrelmail. I has been running "fine" for about 18 months now. But how can I assure my self and my customers that I deliver a good quality mail-server? How can I best monitor the services to assure that there are the desired uptime and response-times? I am running on a lenny installation. Regards Lars Nielsen
I would recommend setting up another Debian box running Nagios to monitor the services on the mail server as well as other machines on your networks. Nagios is a tried and true piece of software and I have done quite a number of installations and configurations (including writing some custom plugins) of it to make it monitor what I want it to. http://www.nagios.org
