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.

If you get say into the 25-30% range I'd be concerned.

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).
