biffer replaces and enhances the normal result of "biff(1)". It can forward notifications between machines and userids (even if the mail recipient is not currently signed on), ignore messages that match user-specified patterns in mail headers, do text or X notifications, and also run an arbitrary program. Needs a slight modification to the stock comsat, included here as biffer_comsat. Written at the University of Waterloo circa 1988, and in use since then with some modifications.
