Eric,
I think I have not expressed my idea with the sufficient clarity -- or, at
least, I cannot see any relation between my idea and your reply. Currently
statistics can be got from users, owners or postmasters as defined in the
second parameter of the Statistics= keyword; this could continue to work
as currently does. My idea was only to add some lines to the STATS file
(say *timestamp totals-for-this period) and to update those lines along with
statistics for the user who sent mail. The logic seems clear to me: determine
in which period of time am I, search totals for the current timestamp,
accumulate if found, else create. Timestamps should be generated according
to the setting of the statistics= third parameter, i.e., one each week, each
month, or whatever. I think that updating the STATS command would be also
straightforward.
Please correct me if I have missed anything.
Jose M. Blasco
