Heh :-)  the "Erik" mentioned here is a colleague of mine who handles 
a bunch of Sendmail servers. That's a custom script for a virus-scanning
mail-gateway we have, where we want to check on both incoming and
outgoing mails - the default mailq scripts I've seen only looks at the
outbound queue size. So Erik's enhanced mailq script is pretty specific
to our setup, i think.

The normal mailq script I used for this was the one that comes with 
larrd 0.43c (the "bf/nmailq-bf.sh" script in LARRD).

It's already there - just ask for the "disk1" graph instead of "disk".

Or were you thinking of having the status (red/yellow/green) depend on 
the # of GB's used ?
