Description: a mail notification tool
biff is a small little program that prints a message to your
terminal when mail arrives. Actually, the message is printed by
the comsat daemon, and biff just enables/disables the u+x
permission flag for the terminal, which comsat uses to determine
whether or not to write to your terminal.
.
biff is mainly of historic interest, since there are much better
alternatives (xbiff, gbiff, youbin) that are network-aware and do
not require a daemon. Although there are no known security problems,
running additional services is often considered risky.
.
By default, the biff service is disabled. To use biff email
notification, you must enable this service by running 'update-inetd
--enable biff' after the package is installed. You may also need
to modify the configuration of your mail transport agent to enable
comsat notification.
Justification: Neglected many packages for a long time, didn't respond
to pings
