The input for mrtg has been fairly consistent.  More on the other 
information lower...

The script (mailstats) isn't getting confused.  It's outputting exactly
what 
its being told to output.

I think I told youin  the last e-mail.

You need to modify the output of the mailstats program so that it looks
like:

in
out
uptime
hostname

IOW, the output from above should look something like so:

# /usr/sbin/mailstats
4
9
16:03:20:45
postman
