Yup.  PHP shell scripts (don't ask, lol) doing grep -wc commands
against the maillog for the specific day only.  Why did I do it in PHP? 
Quick and dirty, didn't want to have to remember how to do it in BASH ..
don't know PERL well enough to do it there.  Example script below..  One
for each.  I'm sure, that it could be done more prettily - but this does
work..

#!/usr/bin/php -q 
<?
$mday=date("M d");
$mday=str_replace(" 0","  ",$mday);
$cmd="grep \"$mday\" /var/log/maillog | grep -iwc \"WHATEVER YOU WANT
TO SEARCH FOR\"";
$both=exec($cmd);
echo "$both\n";
echo "$both\n";
echo "0\n";
echo "0\n";
?>
