Re: [Nagios-users] check_mx plugin?

i think check_dig might start things off ... you can ask a name server for an MX record and specify what you expect in the answer section with the -a flag:

check_dig -H SERVER -l cnn.com -T mx -a nycmail1.turner.com

so this would expect the string "nycmail1.turner.com" to be in the answer section ...

but i can only see how to get the lowest MX record with check_dig so seeing higher MX may require a little extra work ...
