thoughts for a mail forwarding nagios check

[seth vidal]

Not sure if we already have one of these but I was thinking about it
after the thing on monday with the forwards being screwed up.

a test account is setup pointing to an imap server somewhere.
we send an email to the account at fp.o every 10 minutes. The mail contains
a uuid generated for each mail.

the script checks to see if there is a mail in the imap folder
containing that uuid. If not it starts a nagios warning.

Surely someone else has written this test already, right?

if not - does someone want to work on it? It's a specific thing to test
and a finite project to work on, i think.
