email_heartbeat

This is a python script that is meant to help monitor mail servers.  When it is run, it sends a message to the given address with a token in it, and stores the token in a database.  After the email is sent, it reads the database and checks for messages that should have arrived but haven't.

The config file, given as the first argument to the program, is python that gets imported by the program.  See the example configuration file.

Notes:
* Make sure you run it with permissions to read the mail directory.  If you are using AFS, you will need to write a small wrapper around it.
