Description

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.
