Description

Prometheus metrics exporter for the Postfix mail server. This exporter provides histogram metrics for the size and age of messages stored in the mail queue. It extracts these metrics from Postfix by connecting to a UNIX socket under /var/spool. It also counts events by parsing Postfix's log entries, using regular expression matching.
