Hi Luca,
This monitor may not be avaliable on the Node level individually.... The gud reason is...if you have a server/node running more than one application/services and you assign SMTP monitor at the node level and if this SMTP service fails and the other service/application is running the box will mark this server as down similarly if the other service fails but SMTP is running then the server will be shown as up where as it has some problem.
At the pool level we differentiate between the different services even if they are running on the same machine so that is why you see the avaliability of SMTP monitor. Monitors when applied at the Pool level will not effect the machine/server as a whole but only for a particular service. I hope you get this point.
Regards,
Faisal
