It might do to get started, as I'm keen to rule out any naughty activity
on the server.

Ideally something which shows numeric and graphical statistics for web
usage on my websites, for example bandwidth used broken down on a site by
site basis, perhaps even most downloaded files, presumably all of which
can be grabbed from Apache2.  I'd also like something which could present
a graphical (or simple numeric) overview of the data held in
/var/log/mail.log so that I can see any spikes in email traffic through
Postfix/Courier.

I'm fine with perhaps two packages, one to monitor www usage and one to
monitor mail.
