    * Define "incoming" mail.
    * Define "outgoing" mail.

Mail enters Postfix from multiple sources:

    * From outside via SMTP.
    * From local processes via sendmail(1).
    * Internally generated bounce and postmaster notices 
    * Internally generated probes via verify(8)
    * Indirect delivery of aliases in local(8)

Mail leaves Postfix via:

    * Delivery to remote machines via SMTP.
    * Delivery to a mailstore via LMTP
    * Delivery to a local mbox file or maildir via local(8) or virtual(8).
    * Delivery to commands via command aliases(5), mailbox_command settings
      or pipe(8) transports.
    * Circular file via discard(8).

Which of these various events do you want to blink the lights?
Presumably this is intended to be a low-volume deployment, otherwise
the lights will just flicker imperceptibly.
