Well, amavisd also process all the mails so maybe more statistic could 
be useful to be shown
directly (or maybe for getting processed later by some MRTG tools), 
without having to take
an handy calculator (e.g. taking the total number of MsgSize and divide 
by the number of messages) :-)

well, yep, it could be reasonable also to take into account the number 
of servers running.
