I would like to set up a cron job to automatically check whether my mailserver and webserver are up, and tell me if they're not.

This script tells me if my webserver is up:

#!/bin/bash
wget -q --tries=10 --timeout=20 --spider http://melvilletheatre.com
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
          echo "Online"
else
          echo "Offline"
fi

How can I do the something similar with my mailserver?

Or if someone knows of an integrated tool that will monitor this in a better way (whatever that may be), I'm more than interested.

Hello

I use Nmap to test if a server up in a port:

$ nmap -p587 a.mail.server |grep -i 587

587/tcp open  submission

Or several ports:

$ nmap -p25,143,587 a.mail.server |grep -i open
25/tcp  open  smtp
143/tcp open  imap
587/tcp open  submission

If the server is working, the port is shown as open. You can parse it as
desired to message you as you want

Best

How about using nc with something like this:
No server listening at 10.0.129.71
$ nc 10.0.129.71 25 << EOF
QUIT
EOF
$ echo $?
1



Server listening at localhost
$ nc localhost 25 << EOF
QUIT
EOF
220 sclark66.netwolves.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.14.4/8.14.4; Tue, 4 Nov 2014 15:03:22 -0500
221 2.0.0 sclark66.netwolves.com closing connection
$ echo $?
0
