NAME

       mailstats - display mail statistics

SYNOPSIS

       mailstats [-c] [-o] [-p] [-P] [-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 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.

NAME

       mailstats - print mail traffic statistics

SYNOPSIS

       cffile] stfile]

DESCRIPTION

       reads  and  interprets  the  statistics	file,  and then prints out the mail traffic statistics.  The statistics file is the one set by the
       option in the The default statistics file is If the statistics file exists, collects statistics about your mail traffic and stores them	in
       that file.  This file does not grow.

       Statistics are gathered on a per-mailer basis for each mailer defined in the configuration file.  Statistics are kept on the number of mes-
       sages and the number of bytes for all inbound and outbound traffic.

       The utility displays the time at which statistics collection was started on the first line.  Then, the statistics of each  mailer  is  dis-
       played on a single line, each with the following white space separated fields (see the "EXAMPLES" section below):

       The mailer number.

       Number of messages from the mailer.

       Kbytes from the mailer.

       Number of messages to the mailer.

       Kbytes to the mailer.

       Number of messages rejected.

       Number of messages discarded.

       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 con-
       taining only equals (``='') characters.

   Note
       can be used by privileged users only.

   Options
       The options are as follows:

       Read the specified
		   cffile instead of the default file.

       Read the specified statistics file,
		   stfile, instead of the statistics file specified in the file.

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

       Output information  in  program-readable  mode  and clear statistics.

       To clear the statistics file, execute, as root:

RETURN VALUE

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

DIAGNOSTICS

       generates error messages if the statistics file is not accessible or if the size of the statistics file has changed.  Error messages are:

	      Either statistics-file is zero length, meaning that no mail has been transferred since it was cleared out, or its size has  changed.
		     Since the size of this file is supposed to remain constant, any change in size means that the file is invalid.

	      The statistics file does not exist.

	      The statistics file's permissions are set so that you cannot read it.

EXAMPLES

       Here is a typical example of output:

	      =============================================================

       This example shows that mailers 0, 3 and 5 have handled the given amounts of mail traffic since Thursday, Jul 11th.  Specifically, has sent
       11 messages containing 11 kilobytes via mailer esmtp (M 5), but has 4 messages rejected via mailer esmtp (M 5).
