Yes, can be helpful at times. I see a peak, I take a peek.

Perfect, thanks. It tracks mail and spam usage (and apparently Ralf
wrote a related program for postfix queue stats).

If this would help any other FreeBSD users: As installed from ports,
mailgraph has permissions issues with /var/log/maillog. The shell script
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mailgraph won't run unless you do one of two things:

1. add user www to wheel group by editing /etc/group

or

2. make maillog world-readable

a. chmod 644 /var/log/maillog

b. edit /etc/newsyslog.conf to make new instances of maillog mode 644

c. (re)start mailgraph

In my case, (1) is preferable since www's default shell is /sbin/nologin
so the chance of remote wheel group exploits is small. I also don't like
(2) because this server houses multiple domains and users with shell
accounts in one domain shouldn't be able to see logs from another domain.

Thanks again, Ralf.
