You're going to have to analyze the log in some fashion since I don't think Postfix keeps internal counters for such things. A persistent process running the equivalent of "tail -f" shouldn't require too many resources. Of course you'd have to check for log rotations, restarts, etc. There's a user-contributed Postfix statistics script at http://jimsun.linxnet.com/downloads/pflogsumm-0.9.0.pl, but it's probably not suitable for your requirements (high-volume, high-resolution). -- Michael
