Custom alerts and data visualization let you quickly identify and prevent email delivery and server issues.
With Paessler PRTG, all monitoring features, alerts & notifications, and reports are included. No matter if you’re looking to set up a small monitoring system for your mail server and email delivery, or complex monitoring for your entire network (hardware, virtual environments, applications, and more), PRTG has got you covered.
PRTG comes with several preconfigured sensor types for your email and mail server monitoring, including POP3, IMAP, and SMTP sensors, so setting up your email monitoring is quick and easy. Plus, our Auto-Discovery feature automatically scans your network and helps you get started with monitoring in just a few minutes.
You can customize PRTG’s alerting system according to your own individual needs to receive alerts by email, push notification, SMS, and other methods. Specify when PRTG should sound the alarm by defining thresholds, notification triggers, and escalation steps – so you’ll only receive messages when it’s necessary.
Pinpointing the cause of errors with your email delivery and other processes can be difficult. PRTG makes it easier with a comprehensive view of your databases, servers, LAN, bandwidth, network traffic, and many other aspects that can influence email services. Save time getting to the root of problems and fix errors faster with PRTG.
Diagnose network issues by continuously tracking your mail servers and end-to-end email delivery. Show response time, round trip time, and other key metrics in real time. Visualize monitoring data in clear graphs and dashboards to identify problems more easily. Gain the overview you need to troubleshoot problems with email security and delivery, mail server authentication, data loss, and more.

Use PRTG’s email monitoring capabilities to constantly check the status of your backups and other processes.
As most backup software, for example Veeam, sends emails to indicate whether or not a backup was successful, and many other applications send important messages by email as well, monitoring the content of these emails is the easiest way to keep an eye on such processes.
If an email notifies you of a serious issue, you can configure PRTG in a way that it immediately alerts you via SMS or push notification – no more sifting through a pile of emails on the next workday when it may already be too late.
PRTG comes with more than 250 native sensor types for monitoring your entire on-premises, cloud, and hybrid cloud environment out of the box. Check out some examples below!
The SMTP&POP3 Round Trip sensor monitors the time it takes for an email to reach a Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) mailbox using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). It sends an email using the parent device (an SMTP server) and then scans a dedicated POP3 mailbox until the email comes in. It can show the following:
The SMTP&IMAP Round Trip sensor monitors the time it takes for an email to reach an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) mailbox using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). It sends an email via the parent device (an SMTP server) and then scans a dedicated IMAP mailbox until the email arrives. It can show the following:
The POP3 sensor monitors an email server via the Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3). It can show the following:
The SMTP sensor monitors a mail server using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). It can show the following:

Email monitoring involves the systematic tracking and analysis of email communications within an organization. It typically includes connecting to email accounts and scanning email content, attachments, and metadata for various purposes such as security, compliance, and performance evaluation.
Mail server monitoring is the process of continuously observing the performance, availability, and security of a mail server infrastructure. This includes tracking server uptime, response times, mail delivery rates, and disk space usage.
Email and mail server monitoring tools often generate alerts for potential issues such as server downtime or high email queue lengths, help ensure smooth email operations, minimize downtime, and enhance overall email service reliability and security.
Email monitoring software offers several benefits for organizations, including:
To make sure that emails are delivered correctly, PRTG comes with preconfigured email round trip sensors. These sensors check the following process:
PRTG offers multiple methods to send out alerts, including SMS, Teams and Slack message, or in-app push notification. This ensures that users can be informed in multiple ways, even if there is an issue with the mail server itself and email delivery is not possible.
In PRTG, “sensors” are the basic monitoring elements. One sensor usually monitors one measured value in your network, for example the traffic of a switch port, the CPU load of a server, or the free space on a disk drive. On average, you need about 5-10 sensors per device or one sensor per switch port.
Paessler conducted trials in over 600 IT departments worldwide to tune its network monitoring software closer to the needs of sysadmins. The result of the survey: over 95% of the participants would recommend PRTG – or already have.
Paessler PRTG is used by companies of all sizes. Sysadmins love PRTG because it makes their job a whole lot easier.
