[Mimedefang] gobs of logs--how to graph them all?

Hi all,

I have about 4 months worth of logs saved mostly in weeklong files for
which I'd like to generate graphs and make them available for viewing
online.  For the first month we used graphdefang to do the spam logs,
but with all the traffic going through the box, we ran out of mem and
CPU causing MD to choke--a limitation of our machine of course, not a
problem with graphdefang.  

The log files have been offloaded to another box and I'm ready to graph
out all the stats but am not sure where to begin. Ideally I want to keep
an archive of all the graphs (monthly, weekly, hourly etc), and be able
to generate them on the fly using specific time parameters (as with
graphdefang.cgi).   

If GD can do it, I'd appreciate if someone could give me some pointers.

What other log utilities are people using?  Once I take care of the
backlog, the plan is to automate the whole process.

Thanks,
Joe
