This plugin sends an email and then checks a pop3 account for this mail.
This plugin is written in python and does two things each time it runs :

1 - Sends an email containing an id to a specified address, and stores the id to a specified file.

2 - Checks a specified pop3 account to see if the previous message was received.

Usage :
--relay
--popserver
--popuser
--poppassword
--to
--from
--idfile

Nice simple checker but it likes to issue Warnings with (null) returned

The solution is to use own idfile for each instance or do "sed -i 's/idfile = a/idfile = a + popserver" on the file
The pluging is working great. I added ssl support, fixed the missing subject and date in the mail header and put some text to the body to get the mail through spamassassin. :)
