SMTP Mail

I seem to be having a slight problem with the SMTP mail configuration. I have the primary and backup settings. However, every minute, HostMon seems to be establishing a connection to a mail server that is not configured in these screens.

For instance:

Primary: smtp1
secondary: smtp2

but when I look at the auditing on smtp3, every minute a connection is being established. I have verified it was hostmon by disabling the service, the connections go away. Upon re-enabling, the connections start coming back.

Any ideas where I can find this? It used to be set for that, but has since been changed.

Look like you have set SMTP or Mail Relay test up to check smtp3 server every minute. It might be a cause. Could you check it?

Yes, that was the cuase. I had thought I disabled the test, but I guess I did not save it.

Thanks for the quick response.
