Monitor a POP3 mail server with ActiveXperts Network Monitor

ActiveXperts Network Monitor is a software solution you need to scan your network servers, workstations and devices for failures or irregularities. With ActiveXperts Network Monitor, you can identify issues and fix unexpected problems before your others even know they've happened.
ActiveXperts Network Monitor maximizes network availability by monitoring all aspects of your servers, workstations, switches, routers, printers and any other devices. It can also detect temperature, humidity and other environmental aspects in your server rooms.

ActiveXperts Network Monitor checks a POP3 mail server by connecting to a remote TCP port (default: 110) and perform a challenge/response.

An ActiveXperts Network monitor POP3 check requires the following parameters:

  • Host - Hostname or IP address of the server to be monitored;
  • Port - TCP port number of the Pop3 protocol. Default: 110;
  • Send command when connected - As soon as connection is established, send a command. By default, no command string will be sent;
  • Response must include string - When connected, optionally send a command. Then wait for a response. The default response for POP3 servers is: '+OK POP3';
  • Timeout - Number of milliseconds before the check will timeout. Usually, a connection to the server will be established within 1 second. However, some slow/busy server need more time. Recommended value is 7000 milliseconds.
