When youbin is used, the +mail spool of a certain, specific machine (mail server) is observed to +inform the arrival of mail to a user at an arbitrary machine through +the network. On the other hands, the conventional "biff" informs only +the user who logs in at the machine on which the mail spool +resides. Combining with POP, youbin eliminates a lot of NFS mount of +mail spool directory caused by checking mail arrival. + +Since youbin is designed with event driven, the user is promptly +informed of status change of mail spool caused by arrival of new +message and/or reading messages. + +- Masafumi |
