Abstract
In recent times, E-mail systems are essential in fulfilling all correspondences in various fields of our lives such as the education, trading, marketing, commerce and other businesses as well as personal communications via the Internet. Therefore, millions of E-mail messages are exchanged on a daily basis all around the world. The need for these E-mail messages to be delivered is hindered by certain failures within the E-mail systems and requires proper monitoring. Therefore, the principal aim of this research was to introduce an E-mail monitoring system which is able to monitor and detect those failures. The system proposed is an Active E-mail Monitoring System (AEMS), designed to monitor and detect E-mail system services failure under any E-mail system platform. AEMS consists of a set of monitoring algorithms based on the active monitoring, which are capable of monitoring the three major E-mail system components (E-mail server, DNS server, E-mail gateway), E-mail system functionality and services availability.
