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.
