+
+The email delivery plugin I wrote uses two other plugins
+(smtp send and imap receive), also included, to send a message
+to an email account and then check that account for the message
+and delete it. The plugin times how long it takes for the
+message to be delivered and the warning and critical thresholds
+are for this elapsed time. 
+
+A few notes:
+
+1. I tried to use the check_smtp plugin for sending mail.  I
+can do it on the command line but I can't get the newlines to
+happen from the nagios config file (\n doesn't seem to work so smtp
+server waits for the '.' but doesn't get it like it does when I
+use single quote and newlines from the command line).   So if
+you know how to get the check_smtp plugin to send a message from
+the nagios config, that one could be used instead of the
+check_smtp_send plugin included here (and please let me know)
+
+
+2. I looked at check_mail.pl by bledi51 and its pretty good,
+and also conforms better to nagios perl plugin guidelnes than
+mine does.  So I'm going to be revising my plugins to conform
+more. 
+
+
+
+
+
+
+Finally, usage example from my own nagios config:
+
+define command{
+	command_name	check_email_delivery
+	command_line	$USER1$/check_email_delivery -H $HOSTADDRESS$ --mailfrom $ARG3$ --mailto $ARG4$ --username $ARG5$ --password $ARG6$ --libexec $USER1$ -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$
+	}
+
+define service{
+        use                             generic-service
+        host_name                       mail.your.net
+        service_description             EMAIL DELIVERY
+        check_command                   check_email_delivery!5!120!sender@your.net!recipient@your.net!recipient@your.net!password
+        }
+
+
+A new usage example equivalent to the old one but using the new --plugins and --token options:
+
+define command{
+	command_name	check_email_delivery
+	command_line	$USER1$/check_email_delivery -p '$USER1$/check_smtp_send -H $HOSTADDRESS$ --mailfrom $ARG3$ --mailto $ARG4$ -U $ARG5$ -P $ARG6$ --subject "Nagios %TOKEN1%" -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$' -p '$USER1$/check_imap_receive -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -U $ARG5$ -P $ARG6$ -s SUBJECT -s "Nagios %TOKEN1%" -w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$' -w $ARG1$,$ARG1$ -c $ARG2$,$ARG2$
+	}
+
+define service{
+        use                             generic-service
+        host_name                       mail.your.net
+        service_description             EMAIL DELIVERY
+        check_command                   check_email_delivery!5!120!sender@your.net!recipient@your.net!recipient@your.net!password
+        }
