Correct, however, from Omar's original post, it seemed like what he was
really looking for was actually the amount of data flowing into and out of
his server.  If he really wanted IMail based bandwidth utilization, then
using RRDtool is the way to go.

Sure, if you want to wait for some number of hours for Delog to parse your
log file and then manually do the calculations, fine.  However, if you want
the results in seconds, then use the scripts I provided.
