Hello

The "tail" command may help. EX:

tail -2000 /var/log/exim_mainlog | awk -F"T=\"" '/<=/ {print $2}' | cut -d\" -f1 | sort | uniq -c | sort -n

Simply change "2000" to the value of your preference. It's not by date, but selecting a specific number of lines will reduce the amount of information that's checked. Otherwise, Google search results show several methods of filtering awk output with dates/times.

Thank you.
