Working just fine here on a fully updated F12 system.
My sendmail.mc has the entry...
define(`STATUS_FILE', `/var/log/mail/statistics')dnl
and that file's ownership is "root/root".
I ran "mailstats -p" to print and clear the file. Then, after more mail
arrived, ran just "mailstats" and the new stats were available.
Thanks, that seems to do it.
Guess that define is now necessary, it wasn't in my previous sendmail.mc
