NAME
       mprobe - smtp-server aliveness probe

SYNOPSIS
       mprobe hostname

       allowed!) has a smtp-server, that responds properly.

       2      Can't resolve target hostname

       3      mprobe(8zm) internal failure, can't create  socket  (should  not

       4      failed to connect to the remote host

       5      mprobe(8zm) internal failure, fdopen() failed.. (should not hap-
              pen!)

       17, 19 The remote smtp-server hung-up on us, most likely
