       Smokeping::probes::SendEmail - a	Smokeping probe	that measure time
       needed to send an mail

SYNOPSIS
	*** Probes ***

	+SendEmail

	bodysize = 1024
	forks =	5
	from = test@test.com # mandatory
	offset = 50%
	step = 300
	subject	= Test Smokeping
	timeout	= 15
	to = test@test.com # mandatory

	# The following	variables can be overridden in each target section
	/^influx_.+/ = influx_location = In the	basement
	pings =	5
	port = 25

	# [...]

	*** Targets ***

	probe =	SendEmail # if this should be the default probe

	# [...]

	+ mytarget
	# probe	= SendEmail # if the default probe is something	else
	host = my.host
	/^influx_.+/ = influx_location = In the	basement
	pings =	5
	port = 25

DESCRIPTION
       This probe actually send	a mail to a MX server and measure time it
       took. You can choose the	sender and recipient address as	well as	the
       size of the mail.

VARIABLES
       Supported probe-specific	variables:

       bodysize
	   Size	of the mail to send in bytes. If set to	0, a default mail
	   content will	be set.	Note that mail always contain From, To and
	   Subject headers.

	   Example value: 1024

	   Default value: 0

       forks
	   Run this many concurrent processes at maximum

	   Example value: 5

	   Default value: 5

       from
	   Mail	from address

	   Example value: test@test.com

	   This	setting	is mandatory.

       offset
	   If you run many probes concurrently you may want to prevent them
	   from	hitting	your network all at the	same time. Using the
	   probe-specific offset parameter you can change the point in time
	   when	each probe will	be run.	Offset is specified in % of total
	   interval, or	alternatively as 'random', and the offset from the
	   'General' section is	used if	nothing	is specified here. Note	that
	   this	does NOT influence the rrds itself, it is just a matter	of
	   when	data acquisition is initiated.	(This variable is only
	   applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is set	in the
	   'General' section.)

	   Example value: 50%

       step
	   Duration of the base	interval that this probe should	use, if
	   different from the one specified in the 'Database' section. Note
	   that	the step in the	RRD files is fixed when	they are originally
	   generated, and if you change	the step parameter afterwards, you'll
	   have	to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them. (This
	   variable is only applicable if the variable 'concurrentprobes' is
	   set in the 'General'	section.)

	   Example value: 300

       subject
	   Subject of the mail

	   Example value: Test Smokeping

	   Default value: Test

       timeout
	   How long a single 'ping' takes at maximum

	   Example value: 15

	   Default value: 5

       to  Rcpt	to address

	   Example value: test@test.com

	   This	setting	is mandatory.

       Supported target-specific variables:

       /^influx_.+/
	   This	is a tag that will be sent to influxdb and has no impact on
	   the probe measurement. The tag name will be sent without the
	   "influx_" prefix, which will	be replaced with "tag_"	instead. Tags
	   can be used for filtering.

	   Example value: influx_location = In the basement

       pings
	   How many pings should be sent to each target, if different from the
	   global value	specified in the Database section. Note	that the
	   number of pings in the RRD files is fixed when they are originally
	   generated, and if you change	this parameter afterwards, you'll have
	   to delete the old RRD files or somehow convert them.

	   Example value: 5

       port
	   Port	of the SMTP server to reach

	   Example value: 25

	   Default value: 25
