---- From README (slightly modified) ---
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
youbin is a kind of biff in the network age. 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.
