  • NAME
      mailstats - display mail statistics
  • SYNOPSIS
      mailstats cffile ] 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 white space 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.
      msgsdis
      Number of messages discarded.
      msgsqur
      Number of messages quarantined.
      Mailer
      The name of the mailer.


      After this display, a line totaling the values for all of the mailers is displayed (preceded with a ``T''), separated from the previous information by a line containing only equals (``='') characters. Another line preceded with a ``C'' lists the number of TCP connections.

      The options are as follows:
      -C
      Read the specified file instead of the default sendmail configuration file.
      -c
      Try to use submit.cf instead of the default sendmail configuration file.
      -f
      Read the specified statistics file instead of the statistics file specified in the sendmail configuration file.
      -P
      Output information in program-readable mode without clearing statistics.
      -p
      Output information in program-readable mode and clear statistics.
      -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.
