You mean: you *do* get graphs (as opposed to subject line) but they don't
display anything?

If so:

1) Make sure you get errors, if any. This means: do not believe statements
   from people claiming to do " >/dev/null 2>&1"

2) Make sure you refresh the graphs too, not only the HTML page.
   For instance, Netscape won't look for new graphs, it just assumes
   every image is an advertisement and it won't even do an header request
   to see if it's updated (sick). Hold the shift key and click
   on reload. Do *not* use ctrl-R.

If the numbers in the graph change and if they show values that should
be visible in the graphs, maxbytes is not the problem.
