[qmailtoaster] Monitoring for messages in queue but not yet processed

[Dairenn Lombard]

Hello,

We run a couple of monitoring systems like Nagios and ipMonitor but
unfortunately, they can tell us things that would help us preclude an
e-mail emergency outage (such as being unable to send or receive
anything, or not for a very long time) such as when there is over a
thousand messages in queue but not yet processed.  Generally, each time
this happens, there is a different cause, so invariably, one of us has
to look into it.  But we'd prefer to know before customers call us to
report their e-mail is down.

Therefore, I'd like to know if there are any tools out there that can
watch the queue, and report on this sort of thing (or, do I need to
write something like a shell or perl script that sends out an e-mail
whenever the queue exceeds 1,000 messages)?

Let me know if anyone has any ideas or suggestions.
Thanks!


Best regards,

There are tons of plugins for nagios to interact with qmail.

I personally haven't used any but here is a link you can try.

A consultation, can be that qmail or vpopmail they request to confirm the
passwords of the whichever every certain time?
