NimbostratusWhy use external monitor in with SMTP 587 servers
In deployment guide f5-smtp-dg.pdf F5 tells us to use an external monitor to measure the availability of the SMTP nodes, when using server-side encrypting.
I don't understand why, because the basic SMTP health monitor works perfectly in encrypted trafic.
I do not want to use the external script.
Can anyone explain?
