comsat question

Greetings...

The procmail manpages mention that procmail will call comsat with
offset:filename, but that some comsats can't handle the filename syntax.
This indeed seems to be the case with solaris 2.5 and 2.6 in.comsatd; the
biff output is offset bytes into inbox, regardless of the :filename arg.
The docs suggest replacing the crippled comsat with a smarter version.
I've looked around for a replacement with no success. Where can I find
source for an in.comsatd (solaris, sun4m)? Thanks.

Regards, J.

and now... Deep Thought #59, by Jack Handy

As the evening sky faded from a salmon color to a sort of flint gray, I
thought back to the salmon I caught that morning, and how gray he
was, and how I named him Flint.
