MAILSTATS(8) FreeBSD System Manager's Manual MAILSTATS(8)
NAME
mailstats - display mail protocol statistics
SYNOPSIS
mailstats [-o] [-C sendmail.cf] [-f sendmail.st]
DESCRIPTION
Mailstats displays mail statistics on a per mailer basis. Each line of
output contains the mailer number, the count and byte-count of incoming
messages, the count and byte-count of outgoing messages, and the name of
the mailer unless the -o flag is specified. Common mailers include smtp
and local (eg: mail.local, the program which handles local delivery of
mail).
Statistics are read from the sendmail statistics file sendmail.st, the
location of which is defined in sendmail.cf, or specified with the -f
flag. Mailers are likewise defined in the sendmail.cf file. Statistics
are cumulative; zero the statistics file to reset the counters.
FILES
/etc/sendmail.cf sendmail configuration file
/var/log/sendmail.st sendmail statistics file
SEE ALSO
