[Mimedefang] Mail stats via rrdtool

[Kevin A. McGrail]

I needed something very similar to this so I actually was modifying it this
morning.  However, I think your system will fail because strftime will
return Jan 01 and sendmail will log Jan  1 (space padded).

I further modified it to do a larger range of dates by using mysql to do the
date processing.  My version is here but this is a really simple script.

The main point of my email was to point out the potential bug above for
single digit dates and I wouldn't recommend this in cron.  I just needed to
produce a one-time report on a system and I ran it like this:

zcat /var/log/maillog.?.gz | cat /var/log/maillog - |
/usr/local/sbin/parse_maillog.pl
