Hugh,
Which version of eximstats are you using ? Later versions use the
following code to handle gzipped files:

if (@ARGV) {
# Scan the input files and collect the data
foreach my $file (@ARGV) {
if ($file =~ /\.gz/) {
unless (open(FILE,"gunzip -c $file |")) {
print STDERR "Failed to gunzip -c $file: $!";
next;
}
}
elsif ($file =~ /\.Z/) {
unless (open(FILE,"uncompress -c $file |")) {
print STDERR "Failed to uncompress -c $file: $!";
next;
}
}
else {
unless (open(FILE,$file)) {
print STDERR "Failed to read $file: $!";
next;
}
}
#Now parse the filehandle, updating the global variables.
parse($parser,\*FILE);
}
}

Version 1.16 should do what you want and is available in the exim-4.05
distribution (it is downwardly compatible).

The latest version (1.18) is available from
http://www.cyberenet.net/~sten/eximstats
MD5: 66961bdb49aed47d671f889b5d0ae3ac
and has a few minor updates, as well as Joachim Wieland's graphical
chart plotting capability. You will need to modify the
'#!/usr/local/bin/perl' line at the top to point to where perl is
installed on your system.
