If not tried then try:

Test certificate on Port 587

This setup verifies SMTP functionality and the TLS certificate used by Postfix on port 587 (submission with STARTTLS).

1. Xymon SMTP + TLS certificate test (recommended)
analysis.cfg
SMTP mail.example.com 587 STARTTLS WARNDAYS=30
Was "SMTP" added as a new config stanza / option in more recent version of Xymon?

I don't see any reference to it in the comments in analysis.cfg nor it's manual page in 4.3.30.
What this checks:

SMTP banner and protocol response

STARTTLS negotiation

TLS certificate validity

Certificate expiration (warning 30 days before expiry)

Hostname/FQDN match (CN / SAN)
I would love to learn more about this.

Is this something available in newer versions?  Or is the documentation I'm looking at for 4.3.30 simply missing references to it?
