Monitors included into Mail Servers – Generic Mail Server template
Monitors from this application template show availability and performance of a Generic Mail Server (SMTP/SMTPS, POP3/POP3S, IMAP/IMAPS), also can send an optional test message via the monitored SMTP server. It is not important which mail server software is used on the host. More about templates.

Templates overview
IPHost Network Monitor provides application templates (or just “templates” later in document), to create multiple relevant monitors in only a few clicks. Templates facilitate adding typical monitors sets; this can be particularly useful in case of big networks, when creating same-type monitors for many same-type devices is a common task. Application templates are sets of monitors that can be added, using specific predefined parameters, for a given host at once. The said set, added for given host, is displayed as a separate node in tree view pane, and is named application.
There are predefined templates; user can as well generate templates of their own – either out of existing monitors, or by cloning a predefined template. User-added template definitions are saved in XML files and can thus be conveniently augmented or applied to specific needs.
