[lug] Sendmail listens to Port 25 too, though using DaemonPortOptions=Port=8025

[Greg Horne]

Roland,

     Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't /etc/services a way for other
     machines to see what services, and on what ports you are offering
     them?  If that were true than you would not have to worry about
     sending mail to another server.  Your computer would figure out
     what port the other server uses.
