I don't think it would be impossible to generate some stats --- just
update some counters when the log entry is generated. Updating a single
counter file from multiple processes would be tricky, but not
impossible.

It isn't really necessary as the stats can be pulled from the mail 
logs, but processing a 500,000 line log file can be a bit on the 
painful side.
