NAME
     mailstats - print statistics collected by sendmail

SYNOPSIS
     mailstats [-o] [-c ] [-C configfile] [-f statisticsfile]
          [-p] [-P]


DESCRIPTION
     The mailstats utility prints out the statistics collected by
     the  sendmail(1M)  program on mailer usage. These statistics
     are collected if the file indicated by the StatusFile confi-
     guration      option     of     sendmail     (defined     in
     /etc/mail/sendmail.cf) exists. The default  statistics  file
     is /etc/mail/statistics.


     To   enable   mailstats,   you   must,   as   root,    touch
     /etc/mail/statistics.  See  the StatusFile processing option
     in sendmail(1M).


     mailstats first prints the time that the statistics file was
     created and the last time it was modified. Then, the statis-
     tics for each mailer are displayed on a  single  line,  each
     with the following whitespace-separated fields:

     M             The mailer number.


     msgsfr        Number of messages from the mailer.


     bytes_from    Kbytes from the mailer.


     msgsto        Number of messages to the mailer.


     bytes_to      Kbytes to the mailer.


     msgsrej       Number of messages rejected by the mailer.


     msgsdis       Number of messages discarded by the mailer.


     msgsqur       Number of messages quarantined by the mailer.

User Commands                                        mailstats(1)



     Mailer        The name of the mailer.



     The display of statistics described above is followed  by  a
     separation  line  containing only equal sign (=) characters.
     After the separation line, a line preceded with  a  "T"  and
     totaling  the  values  for  all of the mailers is displayed.
     This is followed by another line preceded with  a  "C"  that
     lists the number of TCP connections.


     To reinitialize the statistics file once  a  night,  add  an
     entry to root's crontab(1):

       mailstats -p > /dev/null



OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -c                   Try to use  submit.cf  instead  of  the
                          default sendmail configuration file.


     -C configfile        Specify a sendmail configuration file.


     -f statisticsfile    Specify a sendmail statistics file.


     -o                   Do not display the name of  the  mailer
                          in the output.


     -p                   Output information in  program-readable
                          mode and clear statistics.


     -P                   Output information in  program-readable
                          mode without clearing statistics.
