LOL! That's just my spam count for the day...

joehill-ZIJyqw/fGic at public.gmane.org:~>$grep -c "03 Apr" ~/logs/deleted.log 
58
joehill-ZIJyqw/fGic at public.gmane.org:~>$grep -c "02 Apr" ~/logs/deleted.log 
62
joehill-ZIJyqw/fGic at public.gmane.org:~>$grep -c "01 Apr" ~/logs/deleted.log 
55
joehill-ZIJyqw/fGic at public.gmane.org:~>$grep -c "31 Mar" ~/logs/deleted.log 
113

...and that's only what Mailfilter caught, procmail (too lazy to figure
out how to grep my procmail log...) probably adds another 10 or 20 a day that I
don't see, and then there's the few that get through. Noticed it really spike
there around end of March, seems to be dropping off now, praise be.

What would that command be, anyway, for the procmail log? I tried:

joehill-ZIJyqw/fGic at public.gmane.org:~>$grep -c "Mar 31" `grep /dev/null -C 1 ~/Procmail/pmlog`
-bash: /bin/grep: Argument list too long
