Hmm, the UCD SNMP package (http://ucd-snmp.ucdavis.edu/) is for
gathering information via. SNMP and setting up SNMP agent for
serving information via SNMP. I'm afraid I don't see where this
comes in if you just want to monitor the number of mails per
time unit. I beleive I would have written a small perlscript
that returned the number of mails in queue in MRTG format (see
the MRTG documentation) and use that for gathering the infor-
mation for MRTG.

So would we. :) Where does it say that you need UCD SNMP?
