Please can someone just tell me why the output of the mail program which I
originally attached, outputs (for my mail server) 35000-ish, yet the rra is
being update with values like 5.00000000e-5 (or whatever) these do not seem
right and I am getting graph values like 5m (million?).

please could someone post the steps I should be taking to monitor my email
stats and my hard disk space, right from the beginning so I can see how it
should be done.

thanks guys
