DESCRIPTION

14       The  mailstats utility prints out the statistics collected by the send‐
15       mail(1M) program on mailer usage. These statistics are collected if the
16       file  indicated  by  the  StatusFile  configuration  option of sendmail
17       (defined in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf) exists. The default statistics  file
18       is /etc/mail/statistics.
19
20
21       To enable mailstats, you must, as root, touch /etc/mail/statistics. See
22       the StatusFile processing option in sendmail(1M).
23
24
25       mailstats first prints the time that the statistics  file  was  created
26       and the last time it was modified. Then, the statistics for each mailer
27       are displayed on a single line, each with the following whitespace-sep‐
28       arated fields:
29
30       M             The mailer number.
31
32
33       msgsfr        Number of messages from the mailer.
34
35
36       bytes_from    Kbytes from the mailer.
37
38
39       msgsto        Number of messages to the mailer.
40
41
42       bytes_to      Kbytes to the mailer.
43
44
45       msgsrej       Number of messages rejected by the mailer.
46
47
48       msgsdis       Number of messages discarded by the mailer.
49
50
51       msgsqur       Number of messages quarantined by the mailer.
52
53
54       Mailer        The name of the mailer.
55
56
57
58       The  display  of statistics described above is followed by a separation
59       line containing only equal sign (=) characters.  After  the  separation
60       line, a line preceded with a "T" and totaling the values for all of the
61       mailers is displayed. This is followed by another line preceded with  a
62       "C" that lists the number of TCP connections.
63
64
65       To  reinitialize  the  statistics  file  once  a night, add an entry to
66       root's crontab(1):
67
68         mailstats -p > /dev/null
