Hi Wietse.

Thanks. After I run postfix stop, I get the following.

Port State Service
22/tcp open ssh
80/tcp open http
3306/tcp open mysql

This is to be expected, because I have apache running and SSH open for
administration.

Last week when I ran postfix start, I had the following.

Port State Service
22/tcp open ssh
25/tcp open smtp
80/tcp open http
3306/tcp open mysql

Since then the only thing I have done is copy the /etc/localtime and
/lib/libnss_wins.so and winbind.so to a location in /var/spool/postfix
as I was getting errors when running postfix check. This was following
advice I googled for and found on this list. Postfix check is now
clean, but as I said, all these open ports appear. I don't mind some of
them, but I definitely don't want ftp and such things open!
