       Checks the number of messages in the mail queue (supports multiple sendmail queues, qmail)
       Feedback/patches to support non-sendmail mailqueue welcome

    -w (--warning)   = Min. number of messages in queue to generate warning
    -c (--critical)  = Min. number of messages in queue to generate critical alert ( w < c )
    -W (--Warning)   = Min. number of messages for same domain in queue to generate warning
    -C (--Critical)  = Min. number of messages for same domain in queue to generate critical alert ( W < C )
    -t (--timeout)   = Plugin timeout in seconds (default = 15)
    -M (--mailserver) = [ sendmail | qmail | postfix | exim | nullmailer | opensmtpd ] (default = autodetect)
    -h (--help)
    -V (--version)
    -v (--verbose)   = debugging output


    Note: -w and -c are required arguments.  -W and -C are optional.
     -W and -C are applied to domains listed on the queues - both FROM and TO. (sendmail)
     -W and -C are applied message not yet preproccessed. (qmail)
     This plugin tries to autodetect which mailserver you are running,
     you can override the autodetection with -M.
     This plugin uses the system mailq command (sendmail) or qmail-stat (qmail)
     to look at the queues. Mailq can usually only be accessed by root or 
     a TrustedUser. You will have to set appropriate permissions for the plugin to work.
