NAME
mailstats - print statistics collected by sendmail
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/mailstats [ filename ]
DESCRIPTION
mailstats prints out the statistics collected by the send-
mail program on mailer usage. These statistics are col-
lected 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

NOTES
mailstats should read the configuration file instead of hav-
ing a hard-wired table mapping mailer numbers to names.
