Hi list !
I want to know if there is any implementation of MTA-MIB (defined @ RFC
2789) for the Postfix.
The answer is: type SNMP into the search window at http://www.postfix.org.
Sounds like something qmgr would keep track of
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2789.html
In the spirit of the Postfix architecture, this would involve:
- A new protocol to send statistics or events.
- A new server process that receives statistics or events from
Postfix processes, and that provides READ-ONLY access via SNMP.
- A new client library to send statistics or events from a Postfix
process.

Yes, it is a BIG piece of work to achieve this correctly. But it would
be a must.
In corporate environment, it is now a big pain for us to provide
accurate realtime metrics, reliable weekly statistics which are
mandatory things requested by our bosses. Big piles of pearl scripts
to post process logs, or parse them as they arrive have limits.
This is a lot of additional work and would be a big piece of code not
involved in improving the capability of postfix to do his job as an SMTP
mailer, but it would greatly improve our life as sysadmins ;-)
