+.TH s/qmail: matchup 1
+.SH NAME
+matchup \- collect information on messages and deliveries
+.SH SYNTAX
+.B matchup
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B matchup
+reads a series of lines from
+.BR qmail-send ,
+with a numeric timestamp in front of each line.
+.B matchup
+matches the end of each delivery attempt with the start of the delivery attempt
+and with the relevant message information;
+it replaces
+.BR qmail-send 's
+message reports and delivery reports
+with message lines and delivery lines in the format described below.
+
+.B matchup
+exits after it sees end of file.
+It prints pending messages and deliveries on descriptor 5,
+in a format suitable for input to a future invocation of
+.BR matchup :
+
+.EX
+ <log.1 matchup >out.1 5>pending.2
+.br
+ cat pending.2 log.2 | matchup >out.2 5>pending.3
+.br
+ cat pending.3 log.3 | matchup >out.3 5>pending.4
+.EE
+
+Note that the 5> notation does not work with csh.
+.SH "MESSAGE LINES"
+A message line summarizes the delivery results for a message
+that has left the queue:
+
+.EX
+ m \fIbirth\fR \fIdone\fR \fIbytes\fR \fInk\fR \fInz\fR \fInd\fR <\fIsender\fR> \fIqp\fR \fIuid\fR
+.EE
+
+Here
+.I birth
+and
+.I done
+are timestamps,
+.I bytes
+is the number of bytes in the message,
+.I nk
+is the number of successful deliveries,
+.I nz
+is the number of deferred delivery attempts,
+.I nd
+is the number of failed delivery attempts,
+.I sender
+is the message's return path,
+.I qp
+is the message's long-term queue identifier,
+and
+.I uid
+is the userid of the user that queued the message.
+
+Note that
+.B matchup
+converts

+to lowercase.
+This can lose information,
+since a few hosts pay attention to the case in the box part of an address.
+.SH "DELIVERY LINES"
+A delivery line shows the result of a single delivery attempt:
+
+.EX
+ d \fIresult\fR \fIbirth\fR \fIdstart\fR \fIddone\fR \fIbytes\fR
+.br
+ <\fIsender\fR> \fIchan\fR.\fIrecip\fR \fIqp\fR \fIuid\fR \fIreason\fR
+.EE
+

+.IR birth ,
+.IR bytes ,
+.IR sender ,
+.IR qp ,
+and
+.I uid
+are message information as above;
+.I chan
+is the channel for this delivery;
+.I recip
+is the recipient address for this delivery;
