Patrick, I kinda agree with you, but since I didn't reboot the machine
since getting a nice clean list of ports open and getting the list I
posted yesterday, the only obvious thing was the changes I made to the
system to fix(sic) postfix.
It's seems to be working alright again now, but it would be nice to know
what caused it.
Do you and/or Ralf live in NRW? A one on one session my just be in my
budget here ;)
