Check Email Delivery (check_mail_loop)

This active check sends out special E-Mails to a defined mail address using the SMTP protocol and then tries to receive these mails back by querying the inbox of a IMAP or POP3 mailbox. With this check you can verify that your whole mail delivery progress is working.
