Hi, I have a hopefully simple question. netstat -na | grep LISTEN reports that among other expected ports listening, so is port 587. /etc/services tells me that this is for service "submission", but I don't know what that is, and I'd like to turn it (port 587) if it's not being used (the services running on the machine are: smtp, pop3, http, ssh, ftp & smbd, all on the standard ports). So...my question is: what is port 587, and how can I turn it off if it is not needed by the above services? Thank you! ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
