MailScanner gateway stats

[--[ UxBoD ]--]

Spooky as I am working on a similar thing.  I have taken MailGraph as the base code, as it is well written, removing all the RRD stuff and having it write the information to MySQL instead.  From here will then produce graphs in PHP using ChartDirector (very very cheap graph component which is wicked http://www.advsofteng.com). Once I have something up and running will OT a email to the list.
