For greatest efficiency, and minimal resource usage, make mysql do the heavy lifting. Get the domain counts by:
my @domain_counts = GUI::DB::query ( $dbh, "SELECT date(now()), substr(addr,locate('@',addr)+1) as maildomain +, count (*) as mailcount FROM mailing GROUP BY maildomain ORDER BY mailcount DESC" );
After that, the storage, and top-50 selection becomes easy. Here is the relevant SQL...
INSERT INTO dailydomaincounts (maldate,maildomain,mailcount) VALUES +(?,?,?); SELECT SUM(mailcount) as TOTAL from dailymailcounts WHERE maildate >= date(now()) - INTERVAL(30 days); SELECT maildomain, sum(mailcount) * 100.0 / $total as monthlymailpct + from dailymailcounts WHERE maildate >= date(now()) - INTERVAL(30 days) GROUP BY maildomain ORDER BY monthlymailpct DESC LIMIT 50;
Of course, the e-mail splitting at the first '@' is not the worlds most robust implementation, but given the other artificial constraints imposed, it should suffice.
SQL not tested.

SQL "query complexity" is a rather vague, subjective term - I do not consider the above queries to be "complex".
