MailFlow Monitoring Process

Our Engineers built the MailFlow tool to go beyond just monitoring static SMTP availability.

Even short email delays can be costly for your business. By sending a message through your server and back to our datacenter, we can provide complete mail flow visibility to uncover issues that might be creating delays as well as detecting both inbound or outbound mailflow failure.

In addition to alerts for failure, you can login to see daily, weekly and/or monthly historical statistics. This method allows you to get a true picture of the performance of your mail-server.

How it Works

The Mailflow Monitor tests the full availability and performance of an SMTP server. Our servers will send a test message every five minutes to an email address you configure on your domain directly to any IP you specify. You will configure this mailbox to either forward or automatically reply mail sent to it to an email address that we provide that lives back in our datacenter. Once we receive the reply we store the round trip information in our database. We will alert you if any messages go missing and we will construct a true picture of the overall performance and health of your mail server.

You have access to text and graphical analysis showing response times and round trip information. You can look at your history over a period of hours or months to see trends or help diagnose specific trouble instances.
