Yes, this is a live database with counters being constantly updated for the 
actual timeslice :-)

Thank you, I'll look into this.

CREATE TABLE `domaincounters` (
  `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `domain_id` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `timeslice` datetime DEFAULT NULL,
  `bad_filename` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
  `ham` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
  `mail_in` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
  `mail_out_anon` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
  `mail_out_auth` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
  `out_bad_filename` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
  `skip` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
  `spam` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
  `virus` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
  `suspicious_chars` int(11) DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `domain_id` (`domain_id`,`timeslice`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1557693 DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8

The insert/update query looks like this:

$query = "INSERT INTO domaincounters
          set timeslice = DATE_FORMAT(NOW(),'%Y-%m-%d %H:00:00'),
          $counter = $count, domain_id = "
          . $domainid->{'id'} . 
          " ON DUPLICATE KEY 
          UPDATE $counter = $counter + $count";

$counter is the column to be updated
$count is the number to add to the counter

Mit freundlichen Grüssen
