NAME

mailstats - Displays statistics about mail traffic  

SYNOPSIS

mailstats [-o] [-C cffile [-f stfile]  

FLAGS

Do not display the name of the mailer in the output. Use cffile as the name of the sendmail "cf" file instead of /var/adm/sendmail/sendmail.cf. Use stfile as the input statistics file instead of /var/adm/sendmail/sendmail.st.  

DESCRIPTION

The mailstats command reads the information in the /var/adm/sendmail/sendmail.st file (or in the file specified with the -f flag), formats it, and writes it to standard output. Note also that you can change the location of the sendmail.st file by editing its pathname in the sendmail.cf file.  

EXAMPLES

The format of the information is shown in the following example, in which the first field (M) contains a number that indicates the position of that mailer in the sendmail.cf file, starting at 0 (zero). For example, the first mailer in the sendmail.cf file corresponds to the number 0 in the mailstats display, the second mailer corresponds to the number 1, and so on. Statistics from Mon Jul 20 16:42:25 1998 M msgsfr bytes_from msgsto bytes_to Mailer 1 50 77K 1 3K local 6 43 59K 58 99K smtp ============================================================ T 93 136K 59 102K The fields in the report have the following meanings: Indicates the position of the mailer in the sendmail.cf file. Contains the number of messages received by the local machine from the indicated mailer. Contains the number of bytes in the messages received by the local machine from the indicated mailer. Contains the number of messages sent from the local machine using the indicated mailer. Contains the number of bytes in the messages sent from the local machine using the indicated mailer. Indicates the name of the mailer.

If sendmail transmits mail directly to a file, such as the dead.letter file or an alias target, the message and byte counts are credited to the prog mailer, as defined in the sendmail.cf file. However, mailstats will still default to var/adm/sendmail/sendmail.st.
