A maillog parser? What do you want to test? Connectivity to the remote system? availability of the remote SMTP server? The remote server delivering email?

For text parsing, Perl is your friend.

Yes you can know the flow between two servers, iff you have control over both the MTA.

 What we do now is : to check the mail flow

between abc.com - xyz.com , we send a mail to an invalid account at abc.com from xyz.com every 15 minutes. If the mail bounces back correctly, the flow is okay. The problem here is, a person need to check every fifteen minutes if the bounced mail as arrived.

<snip> Better then that u can always. telent IP 25 ( for check of HELO & HLEO ).

     Is there any way to automate the above

process?

<snip> U get any host monitoring tools for monitoring.

Thanks & Regards,
