How about sftp'ing or rsync'ing over ssh the file from the postfix server to your mrtg server? Also, you may want to take a look at mailgraph: http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~dws/software/mailgraph/ If you search the postfix-users list there's also a script similar to mailgraph that also uses rrdtool to show the number of files in your postfix incoming/active/deferred queues. -- Chris Scott Host Orlando, Inc. http://www.hostorlando.com/
