This does not open Sendmail to anyone: keramida@kobe:/home/keramida$ sockstat -4 | sed -n -e 1p -e /send/p USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS root sendmail 3001 4 tcp4 127.0.0.1:25 *:* I'm a bit tired of saying the same thing many times, so I will stop saying ``please, work on making this happen, and let us have the patches''.
