well i wanted to do that too.. the problem seems to be, that there is no logfile for pop3 sessions. only the authentication is logged.. so i generally use the smpt log. everything with a TO: [EMAIL PROTECTED] is counted twice. cause everything that comes in for some customer, is at least fetched once or forwarded to another adress. i know that this is far from true pop3 traffic, but the solution i was told (log the COMPLETE! pop3 session, with everything the pop3 server sends and receives, meaning: every PACKET!) sounded a bit strange to me.
