+This plugin collects data indirectly by providing a UNIX socket that external
+programs can connect to. A simple line based protocol is used to communicate
+with the plugin:
+
+E-Mail type (e.g. "ham", "spam", "virus", ...) and size (bytes):
+
+  e:<type>:<size>
+
+Spam score:
+
+  s:<value>
+
+Successful spam checks (e.g. "BAYES_99", "SUBJECT_DRUG_GAP_C", ...):

+  c:<type1>[,<type2>,...]
+
+Each line is limited to 256 characters (including the newline character). 
+Longer lines will be ignored.

+The B<mbmon> module uses mbmon to retrieve temperature, voltage, etc.
+
+collectd connects to B<localhost> (127.0.0.1), port B<411/tcp>.
+The B<Host> and B<Port> options can be used to change these
+default values. See L<collectd.conf(5)> for details. C<mbmon> has to be
+running to work correctly. If C<mbmon> is not running timeouts may appear
+which may interfere with other statistics..
+
+C<mbmon> must be run with the -r option ("print TAG and Value format");
+Debian's /etc/init.d/mbmon script already does this, other people
+will need to ensure that this is the case.
