(jari(_dot_)aalto(_at_)poboxes(_dot_)com):
I have noticed that my mail traffic is quite huge nowadays
when I have subsribed to few mailing lists and I'd like to have
some simple per day/per mailing list/ summary. What would be
the simplest way to keep the daily log?

I wrote a little Perl script that runs as a cron job and moves the daily log
to a filename based on the date. For example, tonight at midnight
~/.procmail/logs/daily will be written to ~/.procmail/logs/97/11/08. This
way, not only can I go back and summarize any given day, its quite easy to
summarize a set of dates and even an entire month by just catting whatever
files together and piping it in to mailstat -k.
