mailstats(1M_BSD) (BSD System Compatibility) mailstats(1M_BSD)
NAME
mailstats - (BSD) 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 by
default in /usr/ucblib/sendmail.st unless the S configuration
option of sendmail or in sendmail.cf was used to create a
different file.
If a different file was used, you must provide filename when
issuing mailstats.
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 as 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.

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