NAME
      mailstats - print statistics collected by sendmail
 


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


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  S  configuration
      option   of   sendmail  (defined  in  /etc/mail/sendmail.cf)
      exists.     The     default     statistics      file      is
      /etc/mail/sendmail.st.
 
      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.
 
           Mailer
                 The name of the mailer.
 
 
      After this display, a line totaling the values  for  all  of
      the mailers is displayed, separated from the previous infor-
      mation by a line containing only equal sign (=) characters.
 
      You    might     want     to     add     an     entry     to
      /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root to reinitialize the statistics
      file once a night. Copy /dev/null into the  statistics  file
      or otherwise truncate it to reset the counters.
