To test SMTP servers using ldirectord you may use a "connect" check which
will just open port 25 and close it again. I am more than willing to accept
a patch or work with you to make a patch that can test SMTP more
thourougly. It should be quite straight forward to write such a pach with
opens port 25, issues a simple SMTP command and checks the output.
