Hi All,

I am new user to mailutils,

In my Ubuntu 9.04 I have installed mailutils
I also copied dot.biffrc

=============================\/=========================
~% aptitude search mailutil
i   libmailutils-dev        - Development files for GNU mailutils               
             
i   libmailutils1           - GNU Mail abstraction library                      
             
i   mailutils               - GNU mailutils utilities for handling mail
i   mailutils-comsatd       - GNU mailutils-based comsatd daemon       
p   mailutils-imap4d        - GNU mailutils-based IMAP4 Daemon         
p   mailutils-mh            - GNU mailutils-based MH utilities         
p   mailutils-pop3d         - GNU mailutils-based POP3 Daemon          
i   uw-mailutils            - c-client support programs    

~% cp /usr/share/doc/mailutils-comsatd/examples/dot.biffrc ~/.biffrc

~% cat /etc/inetd.conf
biff    dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/comsatd comsatd -i

~% xhost +

=============================/\=========================

and used six line biff script,
=============================\/=========================
#!/usr/bin/env bash
case $1 in
y) chmod u+x `tty`;;
n) chmod u-x `tty`;;
'') ls -l `tty`|sed 's/...x.*/is y/;s/...-.*/is n/';;
*) echo "usage: $0 "'[y|n]' >&2;;
esac
=============================/\=========================

But still unable to get any new mail notification.

I am using postfix to send mail, not to receive mail
I am receiving mail using offlineimap

Attached my /etc/potfix/main.cf also

Attachment: main.cf
Description: my /etc/postfix/main.cf

Please help how to get comsatd both tty and graphical new mail
notifications.
