SMTP Service Queue Monitoring (Windows)

Hi Dan,

the queue is IIRC stored as files in a specific directory. So I see two simple 
solutions:
a) Export (share) that dir read-only or rather list-only and have the nagios 
server run a script on it to count the number of items, eg. ls |wc -l

b) do the same using a batch or wsh file and nagios plugin agent on the 
windows server.
