mailmonitor ? otherwhise sweep is a general tool, not a one designed to be 
used directly by a mailserver.

If you use amavis-perl and you check your /var/spool/mqueue (not 
/var/spool/mqamavis) you should find it plenty of msgs. Otherwhise I have

Btw I don't want to criticize amavis which is IMHO a very good alternative ...
