Sorry, perhaps I didn't explain well.
Shorewall is running on the same server.
I only allow ping, ssh, smtp, http(s) and imap(s). I have enabled
shorewall accounting for all those services, and for the total.
The sum of allowed traffic just doesn't add up to the total amount of
traffic.

You see? The largest individual traffic is www with 42M, and that's
*outgoing* traffic - that's normal for a server that is mainly used as a
webserver!
But it just doesn't add up to that 6832M Total. It must be traffic that's
being dropped but I can't find it...
