Summary: check_postfix

Initial Comment:
This plugin check the size of the mail queue and the age of the 
messages. Contrary to the others plugins of monitoring for Postfix, 
this one is written in C. It can parse 5 000 mails in one second.

This plugin has two new options :
-W (age limit warning)
-C (age limit critical)

When one or more mails are older than an age limit, an alarm is set 
off.

Tested with Postfix 2.1.5-3.4 and nagios-plugins-1.4.1 tarball.

Due to many questions concerning the compilation of check_postfix.c, I 
wrote a Makefile.


To compile this plugin, put the provided Makefile.in and check_postfix.c 
into nagios-plugins-1.4.1/plugins.

Then change directory to nagios-plugins-1.4.1 and launch ./configure ; 
make

The plugin is located in nagios-plugins-1.4.1/plugins/check_postfix
