We use mailgraph, too, and create daily/weekly/monthly plots of mail
traffic including incoming mail rate, rejected mail, virus infected,
and spam. I didn't realize it was at a dead end. Been using it for
quite awhile with no problems.
Since we use amavisd, we have the tool parse out the relevant amavisd
log entries for the stuff we want to graph.
