+# check_email_loop Nagios Plugin
+#
+# This script sends a mail with a specific id in the subject via
+# an given smtp-server to a given email-adress. When the script
+# is run again, it checks for this Email (with its unique id) on
+# a given pop3 account and send another mail.
+#
+#
+# Example: check_email_loop.pl -poph=mypop -popu=user -pa=password
+# -smtph=mailer -from=returnadress@yoursite.com
+# -to=remaileradress@friend.com -pendc=2 -lostc=0
+#
+# This example will send eacht time this check is executed a new
+# mail to remaileradress@friend.com using the SMTP-Host mailer.
+# Then it looks for any back-forwarded mails in the POP3 host
+# mypop. In this Configuration CRITICAL state will be reached if
+# more than 2 Mails are pending (meaning that they did not came
+# back till now) or if a mails got lost (meaning a mail, that was
+# send later came back prior to another mail).
