mail script to automate

Hi,

Here below the logs from the mail server:

less /var/log/messages:

Sep 6 04:03:31 server-59 out[30914]: 1252227811|webmaster@zilia.com|antonino.granata@gmail.com|2175|success|1
Sep 6 04:03:33 server-59 in[30897]: 1252227813|news@tarot.com|junk@thess.com|30376|success|1
Sep 6 04:03:35 server-59 in[30932]: 1252227815|mtarmizi@perak.gov.my|baha.ansari@risates.com.pk|2934|success|1
Sep 6 04:03:47 server-59 in[30933]: 1252227827|admin@joboffer.com|kemera@mol.com.mk|1736|success|1

Where:

1252227827 -> this is one of the id generated for every second. Using this id we can find out how many email where send out with in a second.
I 'll use the below command to find out the count of emails send out per account:

less /var/log/messages/ | awk '{print $1,$2,$3, +$6}' | grep "Sep 6" | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

Here below the output of the above command:

Output:
40 Sep 6 06:31:02 1252236662
36 Sep 6 21:07:39 1252289259
19 Sep 6 06:31:24 1252236684
17 Sep 6 12:14:22 1252257262
17 Sep 6 05:25:57 1252232757
13 Sep 6 10:51:03 1252252263

Then,

less /var/log/messages | grep 1252236662

It will list the count of 40 mails send out from this id:

Sep 6 06:31:02 server-59 in[27341]: 1252236662|afnaz.bv@sysh.com.sa|achupnm@gmail.com|8035635|success|1
Sep 6 06:31:02 server-59 in[27341]: 1252236662|afnaz.bv@sysh.com.sa|achupnm@yahoo.co.in|8035635|success|1
Sep 6 06:31:02 server-59 in[27341]: 1252236662|afnaz.bv@sysh.com.sa|afsal.ambalavan@alsaif-motors.com|8035635|success|1
Sep 6 06:31:02 server-59 in[27341]: 1252236662|afnaz.bv@sysh.com.sa|afsalpioneer@gmail.com|8035635|success|1
Sep 6 06:31:02 server-59 in[27341]: 1252236662|afnaz.bv@sysh.com.sa|akthabkm@gmail.com|8035635|success|1

So, I need to automate the process of the above one. while running the command it should email me the email account . For eg: the account "afnaz.bv@sysh.com.sa" has used 40 in count. I need a script to email me the top 15 counts and the email account. Is this possible Via the shell script.

NAME
pollrcvd - HylaFAX script for delivering facsimile received by polling SYNOPSIS
/var/spool/hylafax/bin/pollrcvd mailaddr faxfile devid commid error-msg DESCRIPTION
bin/pollrcvd is the command script invoked by the HylaFAX server whenever a facsimile is received as a result of a polling operation. The default script uses electronic mail to deliver the facsimile to the user that submitted the poll request, and can be controlled by editing the etc/PollDispatch shell script in the spooling area that is sourced by pollrcvd when it runs. The arguments are: mailaddr the electronic mail address of the user that submitted the poll request. faxfile the pathname of the received TIFF file relative to the root of the spooling hierarchy. commid The communication identifier associated with the call (used to include a transcript when an error occurs). devid the modem device on which the document was received. error-msg an error message that is non-null if an error was encountered during the receive operation. NOTES
The default script delivers facsimile as PostScript wrapped in MIME. FILES
/var/spool/hylafax spooling area /usr/sbin/faxinfo for printing information about the facsimile /usr/bin/fax2ps for converting TIFF to PostScript /usr/lib/sendmail for delivering mail SEE ALSO
