i have a perl script which analyses daily logs to produce o/p like,
ALLOWED Mails = 2487
BLOCKED No RDNS entry = 11367
Mailbox does not exists = 829
Listed in RBL
zen.spamhaus.org = 1133
dyna.spamrats.com = 202
uceprotect.local = 8489
b.barracudacentral.org = 4258

every mailserver (or smarthost) *should* have an rdns entry. see above
to find how many spam are rejected with missing rdns switch.

we also do same thing.

simple it can be as easy,
cat logfile | egrep -c 'FILTER_RBL_MATCH.*zen.spamhaus.org'
cat logfile | egrep -c 'FILTER_RDNS_MISSING'
or it can be anything similar in awk/perl/python/etc.
