You might consider enhancing qmlog to do this.

---------------------
I had already decided and went this route. I got it working, but with
my method, I too experience the inaccurate precise date boundaries
(due to the files changing based on size and not date). But this is ok
for me as I just want a general over view of my spamdyke stats. My
machine is really quiet between 11pm and 6 am (since my mailserver is
business and not ISP related). So my users tend to not be on then.....
I had considered modifying the qmlog, but my shell script coding
practices are not very neat (IE I tend to use a lot of tmp files to
hold data, and delete at the end after I clean my data through each
process), and did not want to muck their stuff up (yet). I just
whipped something together that works (for now), and will likely see
what I can do with qmlog later).
Although if anyone is interested, I will gladly hand over the
script(s) if they are interested in getting their stats for spamdyke
based more so on a daily overview as opposed to the current log file.
Just keep in mind, my thrown together way is probably not optimal bash
coding. Just gets the job done.
It consists of the actual spamdyle stats perl script, and small script
that creates a list of log files to parse based on todays date, and an
actual run script that builds the report and emails it to an admin
(this is the one to cron).
Just fire me an email off list.
