I wrote a perl script to parse the named stats log file and return the
number of queries. These results are available via snmp by using the
'exec' feature of ucd-snmpd to call the script. I use a shell script and
snmpget(1) on my monitoring machine to collect the results and update a
rrdtool database every 5 minutes.
It would be easy to parse the output of mailstats(1) and return the
results via snmp.
