Ken, are you using the logging analysis from iTools 7 or are you doing this yourself? iTools 7 (which you own) has built-in analysis for mail traffic, so if iTools 7 is on the same machine as Post.Office, you can use this new capability.

iTools 7 automatically configures Advanced Web Statistics (awstats) log analyser when a virtual host is added.  There is no manual configuration required to generate the log. In addition, only authorized people are able to view the log report generated by awstats.
