hi @ZY945 , we can use the smtp transmission protocol, send a smtp protocol package and receive the response data from smtp server. Collect the metrics data and whether is available based on the response packets.

https://blog.mystrika.com/smtp-helo/ https://www.samlogic.net/articles/smtp-commands-reference.htm Detail, suggest send a hello smtp message and receive the response data from smtp server.
