[rrd-users] Re: Data acquisition for an RRD to store mail flow rates.

[Chanslor, Michael David]

Excellent work! I've got some really big syslog's off our mail server
and tying to figure out how to process them. The mailgraph -c -l
/var/log/syslog.0 ran but couldn't find output(the .rrd?)updatedb!...

I'm really excited about starting mailgraph up! Looks really nice!
