.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBmailstats\fR utility prints out the statistics collected by the \fBsendmail\fR(8) program on mailer usage. These statistics are collected if the file indicated by the \fBStatusFile\fR configuration option of \fBsendmail\fR (defined in \fB/etc/mail/sendmail.cf\fR) exists. The default statistics file is \fB/etc/mail/statistics\fR.
.sp
.LP
To enable \fBmailstats\fR, you must, as root, touch \fB/etc/mail/statistics\fR. See the \fBStatusFile\fR processing option in \fBsendmail\fR(8).
.sp
.LP
\fBmailstats\fR first prints the time that the statistics file was created and the last time it was modified. Then, the statistics for each mailer are displayed on a single line, each with the following whitespace-separated fields:

The display of statistics described above is followed by a separation line containing only equal sign (\fB=\fR) characters. After the separation line, a line preceded with a "\fBT\fR" and totaling the values for all of the mailers is displayed. This is followed by another line preceded with a "\fBC\fR" that lists the number of TCP connections.
.sp
.LP
To reinitialize the statistics file once a night, add an entry to root's \fBcrontab\fR(1):
