i dont have biff on my system, and it's true that fetchmail does not tell me that i have new mail, but when it pulls mail from my mail server it update /var/spool/mail/root, and thus bash is supposed to check if the file has been modified every $MAILCHECK seconds, and then notify me. So bash is supposed to be doing the notification, but given my settings above, it's not happening. And I'm wondering why bash isn't doing its job.
