Not very big so here it is. We user jmail but you can replace it with anything you want. We set the vbs file in scheduler to run every 5 minutes.

----------------- sf-queue-mon.vbs -----------

sfqueue = "C:\SpamFilter\queue\" 'location of queue
maxqueues = 50 'number of entries to trip and send this email
dim fs,fo,x, count
count = 0
set fs=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set fo=fs.GetFolder(sfqueue)
for each x in fo.files
  count = count + 1
Next
set fo=nothing
set fs=nothing
if count > maxqueues then
Set Jmail = CreateObject( "JMail.Message" )
 Jmail.Logging = true
 Jmail.Silent = true
 JMail.From = "sf@mydomain.com"
 Jmail.AddRecipient "support@mydomain.com"
 JMail.Subject = "SF has " & Count & " entries in the queue!!!"
 JMail.Body = "Check it out"
 Jmail.Send("mail.whatever.biz")
Set JMail = Nothing 
end if

jep, same boat here too! (and a script running every 5min. checkin the queue)

__M__ your situation is exactly the same as mine.  We too are not looking to use SFI as an outbound proxy but would love the functionality of seeing what is in the outbound queue and have the ability to do a manual force delivery to the onward server on a mail by mail basis. 

Manually checking the Queue folder is time consuming and there is no option to deliver single emails - just to flush the queue.

I am sure this would be a useful feature for many.

Yes - this would be a great feature.  We often have client servers go down and we have no way of knowing what is backing up for them without checking the logfiles.

In fact this is more usefull than incoming for me!

Indeed,

I also would like to be able to use SFI as a smart host for my Exchange Server, but we would need a much improved interface to the outgoing mail.  I would like a separate tab, where every outstanding outgoing mail would be listed, with the reason why it is still there, the ability to force a resend of one or all mail etc.
