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.
              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 connec-
       tions.

       The options are as follows:

       -C     Read the specified file instead of the default sendmail config-
              uration file.

       -c     Try to use submit.cf instead of the default sendmail configura-
              tion 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
              statistics.

       -p     Output information in program-readable mode and  clear  statis-
              tics.

       -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.
