check_pop3_login

Simple extension to a POP3 checker: a Perl plugin which logins into an account with accounts details given as parameters.



Useage:



check_pop3_login



Returns 0, "OK: successfully logged in." with correct log in.

Returns 1, "Critical: unable to log on" with failed attempt.

Returns 3, "Unknown: " with a simple usage message on incorrect usage.



Uses the Net::POP3 object, so should be available on all Perl installs.



Created to notify of a problem with qpopper working in a quota-only environment - qpopper requires double the quota of the current mailbox size to work, failing on login if it cannot duplicate the mailbox.



Note: you may need to change the path to your Perl install (default given is /usr/local/bin/perl).
