Mail Queue monitor?

[Daniel Maher]

If you've already got SNMP deployed, you can query it using any number of open source network monitoring tools (such as Nagios or Big Brother).

In order to obtain the result in the first place, though, you'll need a script to generate a number that SNMP can report.  Consider the attached script, in fact, which can check either the "hold" or "incoming" queues, as you like.
