On some Unixes there is a statistics files that indicates the mail
usage in number of kilobytes & messages.
Mail is accounted as long as the file exist.
Try creating it: touch /usr/lib/sendmail.st, being root.
To check if this is really implemented, search for a file (don't remember
if it's a script or exec) named 'mailstats', not necessarily in the
standard path.
If yes, then probably you'll have stats... I use it on AIX & SysV.
