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

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