Brian Read's mailstats contrib analyzes your qpsmtpd log files and sends a periodic email to the address you specify summarizing your server's email activity.
Download & Installation
yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-mailstats
Configuration
If you install mailstats you should review the latest documentation, which is kept in the script itself. You can review the script after installation using:
less /usr/bin/spamfilter-stats-7.pl
The configuration options for v 0.6.20 have been listed below.
Create the service
config set mailstats service
Status
config setprop mailstats Status ("enabled"|"disabled")
Column Header
Column Header entries are created and set to "yes" if a non zero count is detected (they may not exist before). "Yes" means that that column is then always shown. If you delete the entry or set it to "auto" then it will only show if a non zero occurs again (and then get set to "yes").(enable, supress or only show if nonzero)
config setprop mailstats <column header> ("yes"|"no"|"auto")
QpsmtpCodes
config setprop mailstats QpsmtpdCodes ("enabled"|"disabled")
SpamAssassin Rules
config setprop mailstats SARules ("enabled"|"disabled")
JunkMailList
config setprop mailstats JunkMailList ("enabled"|"disabled")
SpamAssassin Rule Percent Threshold
Set a threshold for report cutoff
config setprop mailstats SARulePercentThreshold (0.5)
Email to send report

Note: a number is interpreted as the hour of the day (0-23)
Logging to a MySQL database
In order to log your data to a MySQL database, you will need to create a database named 'mailstats'. Here are the notes from spamfilter-stats-7.pl on what is required:

Additional Notes
Handling @*.u Logfiles
Multilog occasionally generates log files that end in ".u" instead of ".s". The multilog manual says this:
- .s: This file is completely processed and safely written to disk.
- .u: This file was being created at the moment of an outage. It may have been truncated. It has not been processed.
The latest version of mailstats.cron will process "@*" and "current", so will catch all log files. Earlier versions only processed "*.s" and "current".
