Thanks Mark, We are using Amavisd to call SpamAssassin. Cacti looks great, we hope to implement Cacti soon. Thanks for the info, and many thanks for Amavisd.

If you are using amavisd to call SpamAssassin (instead of spamd), then there is a huge number of SNMP counters and gauges to monitor the operation in real time, including SNMP gauges on current Postfix queue sizes. See: http://www.ijs.si/software/amavisd/AMAVIS-MIB.txt for a list of available OIDs. It involves a lightweight daemon amavisd-snmp-subagent, which collects statistics from amavisd statistics database in almost- real time, and presents itself as na AgentX to a Net-SNMP daemon, which deals with the SNMP protocol. We are using Cacti for monitoring a selection of these stats. No need to parse log files. See also http://www.amavis.org/amavis-2011.pdf slide 90 and onwards. Mark
