in.comsat(1M) System Administration Commands in.comsat(1M)NAME
in.comsat, comsat - biff server
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/in.comsat
DESCRIPTION
comsat is the server process which listens for reports of incoming mail and notifies users who have requested to be told when mail arrives.
It is invoked as needed by inetd(1M), and times out if inactive for a few minutes.
comsat listens on a datagram port associated with the biff service specification (see services(4)) for one line messages of the form
user@mailbox-offset
If the user specified is logged in to the system and the associated terminal has the owner execute bit turned on (by a biff y), the offset
is used as a seek offset into the appropriate mailbox file, and the first 7 lines or 560 characters of the message are printed on the
user's terminal. Lines which appear to be part of the message header other than the From, To, Date, or Subject lines are not printed when
displaying the message.

Dear All,
There was a problem in the data center data, which caused the server to be unreachable for about an hour.
Server logs show the server did not crash or go down.
Hence, I assume there was a networking issue at the data center.
Still waiting for final word on what happened.
