no you would do as follows (but note maybe an SQL db is better for your
problem).
rrdtool create domain1.com.rrd --step 300 \
DS:shameem1_mailcount:COUNTER:1800:0:4294967295 \
DS:shameem1_spamcount:COUNTER:1800:0:4294967295 \
DS:shameem2_mailcount:COUNTER:1800:0:4294967295 \
DS:shameem2_spamcount:COUNTER:1800:0:4294967295 \
RRA:AVERAGE:0.5:1:2016
