MailScanner monitoring

[Matt Kettler]

Personally, I use both.

Nagios is great for detecting downtime, etc. However, it doesn't do all the
detailed graphing that mailscanner-mrtg does.

mailscanner-mrtg does a lot of nice graphs like average score, queue depth, etc.
I tend to use it for diagnosing long-term performance problems.

don't know of anything for nagios that's so pervasive. You could hack up a
nagios plugin to use the mailscanner-mrtg scripts pretty easily, and then add
graphing to nagios, but at that point you're still using mailscanner-mrtg's
scripts to parse your logs.
