Re: SMTP service failures (was RE: [opennms-discuss] DNS service failures)

We have also the problem of random SMTP outages. But actually the SMTP =
servers weren't down:

pollers.log :

We have false alarms of SMTP servers at random times from Linux SMTP, =
Solaris SMTP and Windows SMTP servers with OpenNMS 1.0.1

OpenNMS itself is running on Debian Woody.

All the other pollers operate fine.

Hopefully someone has an explanation.
