/etc/services:
biff 512/udp comsat #used by mail system to notify users
man comsat:
Comsat is the server process which receives reports of incoming mail and
notifies users if they have requested this service. Comsat receives mes-
sages on a datagram port associated with the ``biff'' service specifica-
tion (see services(5) and inetd(8)).
This service is off by default, thus if log_in_vain is turned on, you will have
a similar message after every mail. Sendmail/mail.local has the very same
behavior unless you specify the -B flag to mail.local.
