About mailrelay test my guess is that it is based on the emailID that is sent from hostmonitor. However I need to build a test for a full loop of email servers, say 2/4 talking to each other and sending mail from one to another using very common mail rules. The problem is that your original email ID is wiped out, since forward rules create a new emailID.
The question is that could the ID be read (parsed would be even better) from message body instead of smtp header ?
Or may be a script would do that ?
Thanks.
mailrelay test option
Yes it adds something to the subject, either at the beginning or the end, such as "---delegated" or "--forwarded".
If the field were parsed for the ID rather then compared to the ID, the test would work then.
Is this a possible little improvement ? That would allwo the test to comply with wider range of situations.
Thank you for the reply.

Thank your for the implementation:I hope that it ill help improve the global versatility for the Mailrelay test.
Anyhow you won an upgrade order !
Also, I have given a try to the 722 hostmon.exe on a demo machine and I don't get full satisfaction. The test shows BAD status most of the time (90 %), while the email -manually checked on the pop3 - is right there.
Here is the modified subject pasted from the smtp header:
Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?HMRelayTestID=20288=2047004-D=E9l=E9gu=E9?=
Thank you for your help.

Alex, I thought I should try to explain the worthiness of such an implementation: The actual MailRelay test should work if only one mail server is involved. However in many situation, such as the one I am facing, email could jump from a server to another for many reasons such as Forward rules to mention the most common.
In my case the client needs to monitor the capacity of a mail server to receive, execute a rule, and send out a mail to some external host. Meanwhile there could be some encoding, depending on the vendor.
Hope I have clarified my case.
