Isn't it amazing how so many people can type "linuxpakistan.net" into their browsers but not "google.com"?

lambda sometimes we never have enough time to get out of trouble. Such forums are for an expert's advice to have a direction and then user can master those things. On google one might see many things but dont know where to touch and focus.

the thing is, if you don't have a lot of time, you'll pick the first thing that looks like a good fit for your problem. what you won't do is post on a forum and wait anywhere between a few hours to a few days to get your solution. if you have the time to wait, you have the time to do it on your own.

look at telenor's posts. he doesn't ask for help solving problems, he wants people to solve his problems. he doesn't want to do the research, or to think, or to learn. most of the posts are phrased as "how to do <x>". the sad thing is, you can copy and paste his "how to do <x>" question into google and almost always find the best solution as the first link in the search results.

I am using Cacti 0.87b for monitoring my postfix with Queues and spam - virus and number of emails etc but i never have an chance to get my hands wet to monitor cluster Postfix with specified scenario defined but as far as I know little about cacti it probabily can do but need lot of work stuff related with specific OID

I had tried but i faced lot of problems with mod_snmp module for proftpd and after i left because i got busy with other work related stuff

I am sorry I have never used such kind scenario so I cannot say anything with it

In my opinion for free go for Cacti and for Paid go for HP OpenView (which is really Good)
