What exactly do you want to monitor?  There are already plugins to check 
status of processes, and MailScanner itself doesn't have queues: the 
queues are for the MTA, and there are plugins to check them too.  What 
MailScanner-specific items do you want to monitor that are not covered by 
the present Nagios plugins?
