That's not really related to EFA, so perhaps if you can explain what you are trying to accomplish exactly?

Perhaps to generate graphs like those in the 'view mailgraph statistics' page, but on an external graphing platform such as cacti or cricket..

How long is a piece of string?

There are many, many, many ways to accomplish this.

It might be better if we understood what problem the original poster is trying to solve.

Right. System monitoring with the tool of your choice. Got it.

EFA is based on Centos 6.x, so any good Redhat/Centos 6.x guide you find that tells you the steps to follow to install and configure the snmp utilities/daemons, etc, etc should be good.

For example, a quick search with the terms snmp monitoring under centos shows lots of hits with instructions on how to setup and configure it.

As for snmp monitoring of postfix, I've never done that before, so I'd start with the search "snmp monitoring of postfix" and see what makes sense.
