[mrtg] Re: Postfix Stats graphing wrong

[Jeff Gojkovich]

Thanks for the explanation.  It was just an oversight on my part, on how
it was working, it is now working though. Thanks for the help.

I tried the Factor[_]: # and it would use the right numbers, it just
didn't graph the right numbers.

I really would like it to graph every five minutes instead of per
minute(it makes it seem like we are blocking more) but this should be ok. 
Thanks again for the help Jan, and for the explanation of the math that is
taking place.

I kinda would like to see this be put in the FAQ page also.  It seems it
could help others out.
