The default test in protocols.cfg is
[smtp] send "mail\r\nquit\r\n" expect "220" options banner port 25
All of my smtp servers accept the connection, return the 220 response, and return a 50X response due to the mal-formed "mail" command. The test result in Xymon is green because of the 220 response, but my smtp logs an error for each connection.
I can replace the send-string with: send "quit\r\n" and get better behavior, but I expect that I'll need to make this change every time I update Xymon. It does not appear that re-defining the smtp test in a later (included) .cfg file replaces the first definition.
Two questions: Is there anyone for whom this test is _not_ filling up the error log on their smtp server?
If I edit the native protocol.cfg, am I correct that I'll need to replace protocols.cfg with each code update?
