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
