I ran dpkg-reconfigure mailgraph. All that really does is set 
IGNORE_LOCALHOST. I can set that to "true" or "false".

I installed version 1.14. Ubuntu comes with version 1.12. It's still not 
working. What I find a little strange is that my graphs don't look 
anything like the ones on the mailgraph website.

Another thing I'm noticing is that sent mail is counted even if I don't 
sent anything. I believe it's counting incoming mail as sent mail.

At this point the only thing I can say for sure is that the numbers are 
off. I guess it helps to see a graph in case something goes wrong. 
However, it isn't an accurate  representation of incoming and outgoing 
mail. The only good thing so far is that I can see viruses and spam.
