Any abnormal CPU, disk and memory usages are of course interesting but I
like to keep an eye on the delay time, that is the time a message takes
to pass your server. That's a good performance measure.

Example from the web, this message took 2 seconds from it was received
until it was delivered:

Aug  6 13:55:49 vader sendmail[28771]: h76HtlCD028769:
to=<TwinsDad at tampabay.rr.com>, delay=00:00:02, xdelay=00:00:01,
mailer=relay, pri=138581, relay=smtp-server.carolina.rr.com.
[24.93.67.141], dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent (h76Ha888021010 Message accepted
for delivery)

Vispan has a graph for this.
