SMTP

SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is the protocol mail servers use to send and relay outgoing email.

If your SMTP server is down or misconfigured, outgoing mail, receipts, password resets, alerts, silently stops. SMTP monitoring verifies the server accepts connections and responds correctly, catching delivery problems before customers notice.

Uptimeify connects to your SMTP server on a schedule, checks port, banner and TLS, and reports before your client's first mail gets stuck.
