Description: Monitors Netscape Mail Server queue depths, message delivery statistics, and service availability.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is NSMAIL-MIB?

NSMAIL-MIB is a private enterprise MIB module for monitoring Netscape's Messaging Server (Netscape Mail Server), a mail transfer/delivery platform once widely used for enterprise email. It is intended to expose message queue depth, delivery statistics, and general service availability data for the mail server process. In monitoring terms this is a software-service health MIB: it would be used to confirm the mail service is up and processing mail normally, to watch for growing queue backlogs indicating a delivery bottleneck, and to track message throughput and failure statistics over time. No module description or sample objects were provided in the available data, so specific table/object names cannot be cited with confidence beyond what the short description indicates. This MIB would be deployed on Netscape/iPlanet Messaging Server hosts within an enterprise email infrastructure being monitored by an NMS or mail administrator. Engineers can download the NSMAIL-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in NSMAIL-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

  • Netscape/iPlanet Messaging Server (mail server)

Monitoring Examples

No sample_objects are present in the provided data for this module, so a concrete polling example naming real object names cannot be honestly constructed. Based on the short description, a typical use would be polling queue-depth and delivery-statistics objects to detect mail backlog or an outage, but the actual object identifiers are not available here.
