Hi,

How do folks monitor the health of their postfix installations?

log monitoring seems to be essential, rates of warning/error messages
seem meaningful.  Then there are the statistics regularly emitted, but
these seem more indicative of busyness.

Finally, monitoring queue sizes is probably advisable. Am I better off
looking at the filesystem directly or using "postqueue -j"? postqueue
offers additional details, but I'm wondering about the overhead over just
looking at counts.
Finally, what are the various queues?
https://www.postfix.org/QSHAPE_README.html mentions maildrop, hold,
incoming, active & deferred, but I also see bounce, corrupt, defer, flush,
saved & trace under $queue_directory

Thanks.
