For now I will settle on a cron job script that peeks at the hold queue every so often and alerts someone (me) with an alert.

I have a daily cron job that runs a script which shows me:
- Number of messages which are:
- Normally queued messages for the MTA
- Held (Postfix parlance) / Quarantined (Sendmail parlance)
messages for the MTA
- Normally queued messages for the MSA
- Output of mailq for:
- Held / Quarantined messages
- Normally queued messages for the MSA
I don't show the output for the normally queued messages for the MTA
because that's a constant state of flux and working like it should.
I mainly care to see held / quarantined messages and if something's wrong with the MSA queue.
I would have thought there was some mechanism already built in to the milter, or postfix, to do that, optionally) but I've not stumbled on one thus far.
There is. The command is called "mailq". It's designed to print status to STDOUT and be consumed by a human. Many people have this output emailed to them or apply some sort of script logic to it.
Note: This MTA administration is decidedly NOT the milter's job. The milter's job is to filter discrete messages and return a -1 / 0 / 1 status to the MTA. The MTA is what's responsible for managing /it's/ queue.
