I never asked for postfix on this laptop, yet there it is listening on port 25 on ALL interfaces? What happens when I take down the firewall? Why is it listening on ALL interfaces when its only (stated) reason for being here is to service cron jobs?
I agree, i had my own OMGWTF moment when I discovered that on 10.x (can't really remember which one). This is why I was asking about it in the third post of this thread.
I don't see why. Previous to postfix by default, it was sendmail by default. As far as I remember⁽¹⁾, there has been a mail service daemon in SuSE linux since ever, not only since 10.x. It is a standard requirement of a linux system (and it doesn't mean that it will accept mail from outside by default). Some one might design some other method of doing things, but meanwhile, postfix will stay :-P - -+-+-- (1) That will be SuSE 5.2. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
