Well, this is a pretty wacky way to do it, but I produce useable logs by
running my sendmail logfiles through a filter that converts them to the
common log format used by web servers, and then processing that with a
good web log analysis program (I reccommend analog, which I maintain for
debian.)

For an example of the results, and a better explanation, see
http://kite.preferred.com/usage/mail_log.html

The filter program (which should handle both sendmail and smail logfiles),
is available at ftp://kite.preferred.com/pub/code/maillog2commonlog.pl
