Ok, I have a problem with the message sizes shown in the pflogsumm-1.0.4
output.
They all show "O".(zero)
Since pflogsumm can't retrieve the message sizes, every sent/received email
is also shown under "Message with no size data" part and this makes the log
miles long.
I thought I found the solution in the authors page, but understanding the
solution is harder than it seems.
I pasted whole problem and solution below,
Somebody care to explain what is to be done in the names of solution ?
Thank you.
Serhan.

9. "Orphaned" (no size) Messages
The Problem:
Message size is reported only by the queue manager. The
message may be delivered long-enough after the (last) qmgr
log entry that the information is not in the log(s) processed
by a particular run of pflogsumm.pl.
The Result:
"Orphaned" messages. These are reported by pflogsumm as
"Messages with no size data."
This, of course, throws off "Recipients by message size" and
the total for "bytes delivered." ("bytes in messages" in
earlier versions.)
The Solution:
"Memorize" message sizes by queue i.d. Easy in theory.
Difficult in practice. At least at the moment.
You see, if pflogsumm's going to "memorize" message sizes, it
has to have some definitive way to know when to delete a no-
longer-needed reference. Otherwise the memory file will just
grow forever.
As with the "Reject, Deferred and Bounced Detail Info" issue
above, I'm hoping the get some input into future changes in
logging issues. In any event: maybe whatever comes out of the
logging redesign will provide a solution.
