check_email_loop

Hello dear Nagios user!

This is a plugin I wrote centuries ago. Meanwhile I do not run any email servers any more, but this plugin still seems to be very useful for a resonable share of the nagios users so that many other supplied significant improvements and extensions to this plugin. I'm very happy that my little script has become part of this lively open source community.

Though I wont be able to further maintain this plugin on my own, I'm still trying my best to integrate code contributions I receive via email and share them at this place. So if you have a litte code change correction you feel it should find it's way into the public: just give me a short note.

Please also check the user comments on this plugin as they might contain more current information.

Have fun!
