NAME
     mailstats - print statistics collected by sendmail

SYNOPSIS
     mailstats  [  -o  ]   [   -c   |  -C    configfile    ]    [
     -f statisticsfile ]  [ -p ]  file

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  S  configuration
     option   of   sendmail  (defined  in  /etc/mail/sendmail.cf)
     exists.     The     default     statistics      file      is
     /etc/mail/sendmail.st.

     mailstats first prints the time that the statistics file was
     created and the last time it was modified. Then, the statis-
     tics 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.

          Mailer
                The name of the mailer.

     After this display, a line totaling the values  for  all  of
     the mailers is displayed, separated from the previous infor-
     mation by a line containing only equal sign (=) characters.

     You    might     want     to     add     an     entry     to
     /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root to reinitialize the statistics
     file once a night. Copy /dev/null into the  statistics  file
     or otherwise truncate it to reset the counters.
