I don't know anything about comsatd, but the way my shell notifies me of
mail in different folders is using the 'mail' var.
This is for tcsh, by the way.
# have shell check default, procmail, and vim mailboxes
# for new mail
set mail = (/var/mail/$USER ~$USER/mail/procmail ~$USER/mail/vim)

Hi there,
On the following URL there's a mention of a problem that I am having but
little or no explanation is given as to how to solve this problem. The url in
question is
http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/~reriksso/procmail/mini-faq.html#comsat and the
question is "Why won't biff work right for my own folders? "
It tells me that I should use a comsatd that can handle the extended version.
I am running OpenBSD 2.6 on the mail machine and have looked all over the web
and a bunch of ftp site slooking for this mystery comsatd that can handle
these extended msgs but to no avail. Has anyone had more luck than I?
I don't know how much I want to start rooting around in the comsat source code
(it's not a whole lot, I had a look at it). So if anyone has found a solution
to this problem, I'm all ears :)
I am currently writing a little perl script that cruises through my $HOME/mail
folder checking the mails for Status flags and stuff, it's slow though, (slow
machine), so I'd like a faster solution, without resorting to C programming (I
am lazy).
Cheers,
Xander
