We do something like this where I work, a mailqueue-size check for nagios via NRPE. There was some discussion a little while ago finding the queue size; the long and the short is that invoking postqueue is bad (it's painfully slow). If you're interested, dig up the thread in your favourite archives and have a read, the subject is/was "Recommended way to (quickly) get total mail queue size?", around 2009-07-08. I'm in the process of improving our own systems, which will move to using Victor's suggested perl script. In some ad-hoc testing, I reckon it's easily 1-2 orders of magnitude faster than postqueue when there's a fair amount of mail queued up. P.S. Apologies if I'm wrong about the script using postqueue, but I didn't read every single line, just had a skim to appease my suspicions.
