NAME

mailstats — display mail statistics

SYNOPSIS

mailstats [-o] [-C cffile] [-f stfile]

DESCRIPTION

The mailstats utility displays the current mail statistics.

First, the time at which statistics started being kept is displayed, in the format specified by ctime(3). Then, the statistics 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.

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 information by a line containing only equals (“=”) characters.

The options are as follows:

-C

Read the specified file instead of the default sendmail “cf” file.

-f

Read the specified statistics file instead of the statistics file specified in the sendmail “cf” file.

-o

Don’t display the name of the mailer in the output.

The mailstats utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

FILES
/etc/sendmail.cf

The default sendmail “cf” file.

/var/log/sendmail.st

The default sendmail statistics file.
