I have been recording
* messages/sec arriving in mail queue
* bytes/sec arriving in mail queue
* messages in queue
* number of delivery attempts in progress
for some time. The first 2 are pretty uninteresting, but "messages in
queue" is useful. For instance, one of the hosts that we secondary for
has been off the air for a few days and the backlog is growing visibly.

My stuff is derived from a midnight trawl through the log files. The
link to the source on that web-page is out of date and does not get
the current version or any of the qmail-related stuff. I certainly
endorse Russ' use of MRTG to get near realtime results, and I suggest
people use it rather than samon/saplot.
