Why is SMTP showing up in a port scan when I'm not running a mail server?
Sendmail usually starts by default. Check your running processes:
bash-2.05a$ ps ax PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND 30553 ?? Is 2:28.19 sendmail: accepting connections (sendmail)
If you truly do NOT want to run a MTA, you will have to turn it off in the system config.
Also, remember that MTA <> MUA (i.e. running a MTA has nothing to do with a mail server, really, .. the mail server is normally the MUA like pop3, IMAP, etc.).
