Milter-greylist

By default the Nagios check_mailq plugin tries to autodetect the mail 
server type. I guess this check results in the NOQUEUE errors. You can 
tell the Nagios check_mailq plugin what type of mail server you are 
using via the -M |[ sendmail | qmail | postfix | exim | nullmailer ]| 
option for the plugin.
