+.B matchup
+.SH DESCRIPTION

+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

+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,

+is the userid of the user that queued the message.
