mailstat.pl - shows mail-arrival statistics

SYNOPSIS

mailstat [-klmots] [logfile]

DESCRIPTION

mailstat.pl example program using Log::Procmail to mimic mailstat(1)

OPTIONS

-k: keep logfile intact
-l: long display format
-m: merge any errors into one line
-o: use the old logfile
-t: terse display format
-s: silent in case of no mail

NOTES

Customise to your heart's content, this program is only provided as a guideline.
