Let&#8217;s say you use Outlook as an order processing system that&#8217;s kept in a locked room. What happens if the mailbox on that machine gets a full mailbox? What happens if there&#8217;s a prompt that requires user input? What if there&#8217;s a power outage or an operating system update that requires a reboot? All these scenarios end with the same result: Outlook will no longer process emails.<br \/>\nThe add-in we&#8217;ve created is basically a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.SperrySoftware.com\/Outlook\/MailBeat.asp\">heartbeat monitor for email<\/a>. The add-in sends out an email, and it must be responded to within 30 minutes or it raises an alarm and alerts you (or your team) about the lack of a reply so you can fix the problem.<br \/>\nThe add-in can also act as an auto responder (for those emails only, not as a general purpose auto responder) or you can use Outlook rules to reply. This way, one machine (with the add-in installed) can monitor many different machines all at once. Or, you can have two machines (both with the add-in installed) watching each other so that if either one goes down the other can respond.<br \/>\nThis add-in is in beta, but you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.SperrySoftware.com\/Outlook\/Download.asp?AddIn=MailBeat\">download a free 14-day trial<\/a><a> to try it out.<br \/>\n<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 This month Sperry Software is introducing a new add-in, called MailBeat.
