syslog entries are grep'ed for signaling sequences indicating some kind of
action of postfix.
Install
-------
Clone this repository or download the postfix_mailqueue file and create a
symlinkas *root* in /etc/munin/plugins by using e.g.:
cd /etc/munin/plugins; ln -s /your/path/to/postfix_mailqueue postfix_mailqueue
Since this script does not honor a environment variable to locate your
*mail.log* you currently have to set the `MAILLOG` variable (which defaults
to */var/log/mail.log*) in the script's header.
Next make sure that munin is allowed or at least allows this script to read
your *mail.log*. How to do this depends on your system.
On Debian 6 *mail.log* is owned by `root:adm` and readable by nobody but them.
The recommended way here is to advice munin to run postfix_mailqueue with group
adm (and user postfix, by default) by modifying */etc/munin/plugin-conf.d/munin-node*
where you should change/add a line to the `[postfix_mailqueue]` section:
group adm
Later you will set the *mail.log* path here, too.

-----------
This little script returns the entries of a (syslog created) file of the last
5 minutes.
**You should modify the scripts location in postfix_mailqueue script!**
