Ugo:

Here's what I use.

This script takes two parameters. The first (result1) is the name of a 
file into which queue information gets dumped.
The second (result2) is the name of a file which gets a list of all but 
40 of the queue entries that are older than 2 minutes.

My alarm threshold is "If there is a 41st queue entry that's older than 
2 minutes". So, if the result2 file ends up being non-empty, then I mail 
myself a copy of the result1 file.

I schedule the monitorqueue script to run every 15 minutes.
