Give each domain it's own IP and do IP-based accounting.
Actually TCPSERVER I believe has a feature to log the entire session to
a log file. You could make that a pipe or file that is tailed into an
analyzer that would find the to/from line, parse otu the domain and then
find the total size of it.
Or even easier- make maildrop do it... all mail goes through maildrop or
something and then just have it open a file for append and write $SIZE to it
which would be the size of the message and $TO (or whatever it is $FROM) to
the file too... then find where $TO includes 'domain.com' and then add all
the nuimbers.
