The Mail Status Probe can help you to identify potential configuration problems as well as help find the source of large amounts of mail being sent through the server.
The above command will provide you with some basic usage information. This script is periodically updated, so it is important to review the help information regularly to be sure that you are aware of any changes that may have been made since the last time you used the script.
Most of the time you’ll be most interested in using the –conf and –auth flags.
The –conf flag checks for commonly troublesome configurations on the server and will provide you with an alert if anything problematic is found.
The –auth flag will review the mail logs on the server and produce a report that shows information about the email activity on your server. The way that it is formatted can help to identify potential sources of spam. An experienced email administrator would be able to easily identify potential problems when reviewing the output, although the output may not be immediately clear to an inexperienced administrator. If you are not sure how to interpret the output, you’ll need to reach out to an experienced administrator for advice about how to interpret the data. If you are not sure how to locate a systems administrator, you can start here:
