Server Port Check – Net::Telnet, check remote mail server is up and online
This is pretty useful for checking that a server is accepting requests on a specific port.
In this case, i am checking port 25, but can be used for others.
./smtp_check.pl <host> <host> <host>
[perl]
use Data::Dumper;
use Net::SMTP;
my @all_emails = @ARGV;
foreach $email (@all_emails)
{
$response= check_domain($email);
print “$email ::: $response\n”;
}
sub check_domain($)
{
my $domain = shift;
use Net::Telnet;
$smtp = Net::Telnet->new(
Host=>$domain,
Port=>’25’,
Timeout => 30,
Errmode => ‘return’,
);
if ($smtp) {
# $line = $smtp->getline;
$smtp->close();
return 1;
} else {
return 0;
}
}
