i would suggest to use <== and S= as a filter and then parse the size
out of S=

2004-04-29 22:41:55 1BJILy-0004UD-QF <=
2_return_1048.1BJHui-0000Kw-Dj@??? U=exim P=scanned-ok
S=5631 id=20040429201339.GB1713@???

but this dont tell us the domain or user the mail is delivered to
but next line with this ID tells us:

2004-04-29 22:41:55 1BJILy-0004UD-QF => dev.null
<dev.null@???> R=virtual_known_local_useralias
T=virtual_alias_delivery

may be possible to do with tail, grep, sed or whatever
but sounds completely difficult to me to do so, because im not a perfect
;) and i think of grouping the entries and updating only one line for
domain or/and user
this may be done with dbm or whatelse, i never used before, this is only
an idea...
