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 sta-
       tistics 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 configuration 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 statistics.

       -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.
