It depends on what you mean by "easy".
The SMTP logs have lines that say "ldeliver" for local (incoming) E-mail, "rdeliver"
for external (outgoing) E-mail, and "gdeliver" (if you use a gateway to deliver mail).
You can type 'find "deliver " sys0116.txt >> deliver.log' (minus the single quotes)
from a DOS prompt to create a new log file that just has the
ldeliver/rdeliver/gdeliver lines in it. Just load that into Word or any other
text/word processing program that can give you a line count.
Take the number of lines, divide by 86,400 (the number of seconds in a day), and you
have the number of E-mails going through your server per second.
If it were me, I'd do two separate counts: One of the "ldeliver"'s and one of the
"rdeliver"'s. That way, you would know what percentage of mail was incoming vs.
outgoing.
