Hi,

I have a couple questions regarding open ports are displayed by sockstat.

Is there any reason why sendmail listens on port 587 as well as 25 as per
jkh's default fbsd config?

mail     sendmail 88808    5 tcp4   *.587                 *.*

Is there any reason why bind grabs a random port and listens to it until
restarted and then grabs a new port?

bind     named    68275    4 udp4   *.3499                *.*
