For some reason, although the blog sync script reports it as being posted, the following never actually got posted. Repeated for posterity's sake.
Modified spam-stats.pl to maintain and report cummulative numbers.
Added the -r (-rotate) flag to update the historical data. This will require a modified logrotate.conf to run spam-stats.pl -r as a prerotate script.
Added -cummulative to produce a cummulative report in addition to the standard "daily" report.
It may be finished. Need to keep an eye on the reports and see.
I'm slowly starting to get my alcohol-swelled brain wrapped around Movable Type. It's really some very cool stuff. The documentation could be a little more straightforward, but otherwise, it's rocking along nicely.
Note to self: There's a fine line between a good vodka martini and gasoline.
