I guess we could in theory, but I'd recommend monitoring that through
exim directly for a more up-to-date view (the eximintegration part is
cached). And it's perfectly normal to have quite a bit of queue of
outgoing emails pending even when things work perfectly right, so
alerting on it would have to be fairly adaptive anyway.
