Almost certainly, the device you are monitoring reset and the SMTP tool
did not recognize this, so displayed it as a huge value.

  You can not update events in the past using rrdtool; you can only log
new data going forward in time.

  However, you can repair the data using separate utilities. Use the
"killspike.pl" script which you should find as part of your rrdtool
distribution.

  Hope this helps,
