mailstats(1M) (BSD Compatibility Package) mailstats(1M)
NAME
mailstats - print statistics collected by sendmail
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/mailstats [ filename ]
DESCRIPTION
mailstats prints out the statistics collected by the sendmail program
on mailer usage. These statistics are collected if the file
indicated by the S configuration option of sendmail exists.
mailstats first prints the time that the statistics file was created
and the last time it was modified. It will then print a table with
one row for each mailer specified in the configuration file. The
first column is the mailer number, followed by the symbolic name of
the mailer. The next two columns refer to the number of messages
received by sendmail, and the last two columns refer to messages sent
by sendmail. The number of messages and their total size (in 1024
byte units) is given. No numbers are printed if no messages were
sent (or received) for any mailer.
You might want to add an entry to /var/spool/cron/crontab/root to
reinitialize the statistics file once a night. Copy /dev/null into
the statistics file or otherwise truncate it to reset the counters.
FILES
/var/spool/cron/crontab/root
/dev/null

sendmail(1M).
NOTES
mailstats should read the configuration file instead of having a
hard-wired table mapping mailer numbers to names.
