NAME
     mailstats - display mail statistics

SYNOPSIS
     mailstats [-c] [-o] [-p] [-P] [-C cffile] [-f stfile]

DESCRIPTION
     The mailstats utility displays the current mail statistics.

     First, the time at which statistics started being kept is displayed, in the
     format  specified	by  ctime(3).	Then, the statistics for each mailer are
     displayed on a single line, each with the following white	space  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.
	    msgsdis	Number of messages discarded.
	    msgsqur	Number of messages quarantined.
	    Mailer	The name of the mailer.

     After  this  display,  a line totaling the values for all of the mailers is
     displayed (preceded with a ``T''), separated from the previous  information
     by a line containing only equals (``='') characters.  Another line preceded
     with a ``C'' lists the number of TCP connections.

     The options are as follows:

     -C     Read  the  specified file instead of the default sendmail configura-
	    tion file.

     -c     Try to use submit.cf instead of the default  sendmail  configuration
	    file.

     -f     Read  the  specified  statistics file instead of the statistics file
	    specified in the sendmail configuration file.

     -P     Output information in program-readable mode without clearing statis-
	    tics.

     -p     Output information in program-readable mode and clear statistics.

     -o     Don't display the name of the mailer in the output.

     The mailstats utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

     /etc/mail/sendmail.cf    The default sendmail configuration file.
     /etc/mail/statistics     The default sendmail statistics file.
