The average looks average.. with stats only collecting once every 10 minutes it's hard to say. I collect my stats using sar and pipe them into cacti every minute.

What kind of mail system are you running ? Is it simply a SMTP relay or is mail being stored on the system and users accessing it? If users are accessing it what type of mail storage(mbox, maildir, cyrus etc).
