[mrtg] Sendmail: MaxBytes higher than 100 Gb

[Vito Maltese]

I need to monitor a Sendmail server that generates an enormous traffic...

See mailstats output below:

Statistics from Fri Dec 10 18:46:56 1999

As you can see traffic in bytes is around 400-500 Gb.

I tried to monitor something in bytes using mrtg-mailstats
(http://mail.mandli.com/~jrowan/mrtg-mailstats.html) using also the -f option.
Without the option it's impossible to set a MaxBytes higher than 100 Mb.
I can see some graph but results are not satisfactory: values reported are not
correctly scaled.

Below you can see the .cfg file I used:

Thanks for any help,
