Re: multiple email servers with authentication

I want to thank all who replied and close the loop...

I upgraded the server's monit version to 5.25.1 (latest in the repos at 
the time) and syntax was deemed OK.  I looked through the release notes 
and didn't find any mention of this from v5.14 (the version I was 
originally using) forward, but I guess it was fixed at some point.

I have not tested the backup mailserver yet (maybe I'll purposely change 
my credentials on the primary to test that).

This pseudo-example is apparently syntactically correct:

set mailserver smtp.domain1.com port 587
username [email protected] password "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
smtp.domain2.com port 465
username admin2 password "yyyyyyyyyyy"
using SSL
with timeout 10 seconds
