The numbers go from 878 to 894, and from 2005 to 2054.  This happens
in 299 seconds.  This means you have an increase of 16 and 49 in 299
seconds which is 16/299 and 49/299 per second.  This is too little
for a normal counter however you could try to use the perhour option.

You are using gauge (learned this from your other mail) so it should
just work.

Check the script for unusual characters such as control characters.
Try another MRTG version.
Try running a test script, one that just reads something like
    #!/bin/bash
    echo 900
    echo 3000
and see if this shows up.
Check your configuration for undesired options, perhaps on the [^]
target (and similar ones).
Try building a new config file, just the mailstats in it.

enough to do for now I guess :)

cheers,
