UTILITIES-MAILSTATS

From: Joerg Henner <jhe@lihas.de>

As shipped the mailstats program will not work, this is because the Caldera distribution puts the sendmail.st in /var/state, but their sendmail.cf expects it in /var/log. If you want to use the mailstats program you must create sendmail.st in /var/log.

I've started to develop a long time ago, also an mail-stats programm. It's not very great - but OK. I've included it here.

Update (Kurt Wall, 07/02/2001)

Alternatively, edit /etc/sendmail.cf, changing the line that reads:

O StatusFile=/var/log/sendmail.st

so it reads:

O StatusFile=/var/state/sendmail.st

Be sure to restart sendmail using either:

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mta stop
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mta start

# /etc/rc.d/init.d/mta reload

These changes require root access.
