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 configuration 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 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.

       msgsrej	       Number of messages rejected by the mailer.

       msgsdis	       Number of messages discarded by the mailer.

       msgsqur	       Number of messages quarantined by the mailer.

       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.

USAGE

       See largefile(5) for the description of the behavior of mailstats when encountering files greater than or equal to 2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes).

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).
