Hi guys,

I don't know if there are any other Exim (www.exim.org) users here, but I am trying to develop a script which will summarise the ammount of emails sent/recieved in a day/week/month etc..

In the exim logs the entries are like so: 
2002-01-05 07:56:49 16MqNV-0001Ai-00 <= localuser@server.com U=localus
+er P=local S=524
2002-01-05 07:56:55 16MqNV-0001Ai-00 => remote.user@domain.com R=looku
+phost T=remote_smtp H=mx1.mail.domain.com [xx.xx.xx.xx]
2002-01-05 07:56:55 16MqNV-0001Ai-00 Completed

As you can see, the above email was sent from a local user, what would really like to do is monitor these and produce some statistics - I'm really unsure how to approach this and whether it would require a running daemon

Any thoughts on whether this is possible would be appreciated
