Comment 13 for bug 770428

Ok, I have created the mailin trace community:

https://karl.soros.org/communities/mailin-trace/blog

I have set up a cronjob to send an email to that community once every five minutes. Every time this community receives an email message this file is touched:

/srv/osfkarl/production/current/var/mailin_trace

Zagy mentioned earlier that he can wire up a nagios alert based on the timestamp of that file. Zagy, can you wire up a nagios alert that goes off if the timestamp on that file is older than 15 minutes? Once that is done, we can test by stopping mailin and making sure the alert fires. At that point we can consider this ticket closed.
