Somebody got mail, and sendmail is trying to tell the fact to the
comsat (biff) server.
Either:
+ Add this to your sendmail .mc config file:
define(`LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS', LOCAL_MAILER_FLAGS`'P)dnl
+ Delete the biff-line in /etc/services
+ Start comsat in /etc/inetd.conf - BAD idea IMHO.
to make the messages stop.
