Sure there is. From procmailrc(1):
COMSAT Comsat(8)/biff(1) notification is on by
default, it can be turned off by setting this
variable to `no'. Alternatively the biff-ser-
vice can be customised by setting it to either
`service@', `@hostname', or `service@host-
name'. When not specified it defaults to
biff@localhost.
