Unfortunately, the graphs only tell part of the story. SMTP, HTTP, and "other 
services" seem to be the bulk of the flows, but where are they coming from 
and going to? Have you tried flow-print or flow-stat to find out source and 
destination addresses and ports? They will be far more useful in tracking 
down the actual cause. For example:

flow-stat -f9 -S1 < ft-v05.2005-05-19.172500-0400

would give you the source of the most flows for that period.

flow-stat -f5 -S1 < ft-v05xxxxxxx
flow-stat -f6 -S1 < ft-v05xxxxxxx

would list the destination and source ports. See the man page for other 
options. You can also use flow-cat for a longer time span.

Once you've identified the IP's and ports involved you can do a flow-print -f5 
on the file(s) and awk or grep for the particulars. Or better yet, use 
flow-nfilter and/or flow-report. They require a little more work to set up.
