Get More on SMTP Monitoring

Do you find yourself asking…

  • The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) enables a mail server and other message transfer agents to both send and receive digital messages. Think of SMTP as being the primary communication protocol behind the inbound and outbound transmission of emails. SMTP monitoring software not only authenticates an SMTP mail server’s ability to accept incoming sessions, but also positions an SMTP mail server to promptly respond. Each SMTP server maintains a unique address and, therefore, needs to be set up within the mail client you are using.
"We’re able to automate and alert on hardware components in SAM, and we find out in the afternoon about a bad fan rather than at midnight. It gives the operations team time to work on more important items."
