- <h1>Email</h1>
- <p>As an alternative to HTTP/HTTPS requests, you can "ping" checks by
- sending an emails to special email addresses.</p>

- <h2>Use Case: Newsletter Delivery Monitoring</h2>
- <p>Consider a cron job which runs weekly and sends weekly newsletters
- to a list of e-mail addresses. You have already set up a check to get alerted
- when your cron job fails to run. But what you ultimately want to check is if
- <strong>your emails are getting sent and delivered</strong>.</p>
- <p>The solution: set up another check, and add its email address to your list of
- recipient email addresses. Set its Period to 1 week. As long as your weekly email
- script runs correctly, and there are no email delivery issues,
- SITE_NAME will regularly receive an email, and the check and will stay up.</p>
