Servers go down. And when they do it can negatively impact your business, from lost productivity to lost customers. You don’t want that to happen. Monitoring email is not as simple as checking to see if the port responds, you have to validate that the entire mail flow is functioning. So, how do you find out that your email server is down and not accepting emails or just taking too long to respond? More importantly, how long does it take for you to discover it? Minutes? Hours?
What you need is a mail flow monitoring service. One that checks your email server status every few minutes automatically without any intervention from you and alerts you if something isn’t right. Oh sure, there are monitoring tools out there, but they’re expensive, costing up to $30 per month per monitor.
