Re: deliver and biff and comsat
I chose to just change the ling in sendmail that points to procmail, since I don't regenerate sendmail.cf very often. The symlink would work too, though. Hi, thanks again for your response. I chose the symlink method because I generate sendmail.cf very often. It works great. As you know, sendmail depends on deliver. I think it should depend on a local delivery agent (local mailer) and not just deliver, and the user should be given the choice of which local mailer to use. Thanks, Eloy.- -- Eloy A.

deliver and biff and comsat
Hi, I really miss the biff utility in my Debian system that is running sendmail. After a long search I found out that is the local mail delivery agent the responsible to notify comsat of the arrival of new mail. Then, comsat displays asynchronously a notification of new mail. Since I am using sendmail instead of smail, the MDA is deliver. Well, it happens that I do not see any options to make deliver talk to comsat so I am screwed up. I tried smail sometime ago and saw that it does not rely on deliver because it has this capability built-in. Besides, there is one configuration flag called notifycomsat that is used to turn on and off this behavior. All this introduction is to ask if someone knows a way of getting a sendmail based system to notify comsat of new mail arrival. Does any one know of a patch for deliver or another MDA that can work with sendmail? Thanks in advance. Eloy.- -- Eloy A.

Does any one know of a patch for deliver or another MDA that can work with sendmail? sendmail inconjuntion with procmail as the local delivery agent works beautifully. In fact, if you don't use any of the filtering features of procmail, it will deliver mail without interference in the same way that deliver does, but it will notify consat too. I just have the line: FEATURE(local_procmail) in my sendmail.mc that I used to create sendmail.cf works like a charm.

You don't need to do anything like that. Just install
biff and uncomment the comsat line in /etc/inetd.conf
and you're on your way.
