SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

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

msgsfr

Number of messages from the mailer.

bytes_from

Kbytes from 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

-c

Try to use submit.cf instead of the default sendmail configuration file.

-f
