Every time I use the build in 'mail' command to create and send an email to to another user on local LAN domain name, log-in-vain issues these messages. Logged in as root sending email to root also produces same results. > Connection attempt to TCP 127.0.0.1:113 from 127.0.0.1:1034 flags:0x02 > Connection attempt to TCP 127.0.0.1:113 from 127.0.0.1:1034 flags:0x02 auth lookup most likely by your MTA w/o ident service turned on. > Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:512 from 127.0.0.1:1047 > > Also get > Connection attempt to UDP 127.0.0.1:512 from 127.0.0.1:1047 > message when Lan user connects to qpopper to retrive their mail. Most likely not when you connect to qpopper but when mail gets delivered to a mailbox. For procmail you can turn it off with COMSAT=no in procmailrc. For postfix you can use biff = no in main.cf.
