I have a simple need for monitoring, a black box.
It send an email when circuits changes from open/closed. I'd like to monitor three circuits at least.
Checking the circuits once every few second is plenty fast.
The black box should be robust, and cheap. It only needs to send emails, not receive.
My ISP is Voyager. For email, they use
* an IMAP server,
* that uses authentication
* non-default ports
* SSL
So the email client is a little complex. Anyone have suggestions?

Not sure if these will work though.
