deliver and biff and comsat

["Eloy A. Paris" <eparis@ven.ra.rockwell.com>]

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.-
