# Mailqueue
UserParameter=postfix.queue,postqueue -p | find /var/spool/postfix/{deferred,active,maildrop}/ -type f | wc -

and how do i set the item in zabbix and alert @ 100 mails?

I may be wrong, but you should set item simply as integer with the key postfix.queue and the trigger would look like {Somehostostfix.queue.last(0)}>100

but now i have permission problem to the queue folders ... agent can not access queue folder ... is threre a way to get it working?

# Mailqueue
UserParameter=postfix.queue,postqueue -p | find /var/spool/postfix/deferred/*/ /var/spool/postfix/active/ /var/spool/postfix/maildrop/ | wc -l

Err. add a sudo exception for zabbix user for example or add zabbix user to the postfix group. Aint that obvious?

thanks teferi,

found a solution:
# Mailqueue
UserParameter=postfix.queue,mailq | grep -v "Mail queue is empty" | grep -c '^[0-9A-Z]'

this one is working :-)

Queue monitoring - suggetion

Hello,
based on the info from

https://sys4.de/en/blog/2013/08/06/postfix-deliverability-monitoring-with-zabbix/

I extended my userparameter to

UserParameter=unix_mail.queue_hold,mailq | grep -v "Mail queue is empty" | egrep -c '^[0-9A-F]{11}[$!]'
UserParameter=unix_mail.queue_active,mailq | grep -v "Mail queue is empty" | egrep -c '^[0-9A-F]{11}[*]'
UserParameter=unix_mail.queue_deferred,mailq | grep -v "Mail queue is empty" | egrep -c '^[0-9A-F]{11}[^*]'


which gives me the number of active, deferred and hold messages.
As I use MailScanner with the HOLD queue options, this allows me to trigger of mails pile up in the hold queue.

Regards.
