Have a look at these, they are a little more lightweight than nagios:

 Argus - http://argus.tcp4me.com/
 nefu - http://rsug.itd.umich.edu/software/nefu/

Hello,
it really depends on how the monitoring system will be used. I 
personally use nagios at my current employer, and am quite happy with 
it. It's very extensible as you can easily write your own plugins to 
monitor things
specific to your company. As well there is quite a large community, so 
support is there (commercial support

is also available) and also lots of addons and plugins.
But if you need just basic up/down monitoring you might want to look 
else where for something a little more

simpler.

I've had good success with MailScanner which uses SpamAssassin as a perl
library. It does not use spamc or spamd. If I understand correctly this
approach has far less overhead than the procmail/spamc/spamd approach.
