Hey Alan,
Essentially i thought if mail is 'delivered' (not bounce etc.etc.) to a
username, logic suggests that the number of bytes delivered to that
username must be able to be tracked in some way.
The problem is that i have a web to email gateway on my server, now some
users are getting huge emails (advertising co's) 30mg+ but i have no way of
looking at bytes transfered to/from that username due to the web gateway
for billing/performance purposes.
Also, some people are getting their mail from their respective work
environments outside my network.
Mail is the only problem at the moment as it accounts for +50% of my
traffic (i think judging from H.disk activity) and i have no way of looking
at traffic for billing purposes.
