Part of MRTG died

I can see the spams getting logged in my maillog...it's just that MRTG (or
my mrtg.cfg) isn't picking them up anymore.  It was working until ONE of my
upgrades :)

Here is the mail. line from my syslog.conf

# Log all the mail messages in one place.
mail.*                                                  /var/log/maillog
