I know we're getting a littl off topic, so I'll ask first: there are a
bunch of external services I use to monitor things like DNS and SMTP
which are difficult to get a true handle on from the inside.  Is it too
off-topic to talk about some of these resources on list?

(MXToolbox looks pretty interesting, I'll look into it for myself
later.)
