Here's what I have

  * Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon
  * Postfix
  * Amaivsd-New
  * Mailgraph
        o IGNORE_LOCALHOST=true

PROBLEM
If I send an email it gets counted as sent. It also gets counted as
"Received". Is this normal?

That is the way you do send email I guess. It is received on port 25 and
then sent elsewhere.

I ran dpkg-reconfigure mailgraph. All that really does is set
IGNORE_LOCALHOST. I can set that to "true" or "false".

I installed version 1.14. Ubuntu comes with version 1.12. It's still not
working. What I find a little strange is that my graphs don't look
anything like the ones on the mailgraph website.

Another thing I'm noticing is that sent mail is counted even if I don't
sent anything. I believe it's counting incoming mail as sent mail.

At this point the only thing I can say for sure is that the numbers are
off. I guess it helps to see a graph in case something goes wrong.
However, it isn't an accurate  representation of incoming and outgoing
mail. The only good thing so far is that I can see viruses and spam.

I have new information. I changed IGNORE_LOCALHOST=true to
IGNORE_LOCALHOST=false. I then deleted all the graph info in
/var/lib/mailgraph. When I restarted mailgraph I got a big surprise.

My sent mail went from 14 to 211. It looks like something is working
when I set INGORE_LOCALHOST=true.

Questions

    * How is mail counted?
    * Am I reading the graph wrong?

I've got more info.

    * sent an email
    * Sent mail was at 2 which means it should go to 3
    * Sent mail goes from 2 to 5
          o Why does it say 5?
    * Stopped mailgraph
    * Got rid of all the graph info in /var/lib/mailgraph
    * Sent mail now shows 3

I'm not sure what to make of this. Is something wrong with the way
mailgraph reads the log file? Why does it work when I erase everything
and restart mailgraph?
