I certainly am.  MSMRTG has been supporting postfix and exim for quite a
while now - in fact it was one of the first new features added when I
started maintaining it (I didn't actually write the postfix stuff
support though, Jesse Lang gets the credit for that).

Have a read through the config file
(/etc/MailScanner/mailscanner-mrtg.conf) and make sure that you have
selected postfix as the MTA and set all the paths to the correct
logfiles.  Looking at your graphs it also looks like you haven't got
snmp set up correctly, take a look at the README.SNMP for some help with
that.
