I've got more info.

    * sent an email
    * Sent mail was at 2 which means it should go to 3
    * Sent mail goes from 2 to 5
          o Why does it say 5?
    * Stopped mailgraph
    * Got rid of all the graph info in /var/lib/mailgraph
    * Sent mail now shows 3 

I'm not sure what to make of this. Is something wrong with the way 
mailgraph reads the log file? Why does it work when I erase everything 
and restart mailgraph?
