I've just set up a "secure" (you know .. more than usual) Debian system, and want to arrange things so that it can send mail out when necessary (in case anything happens that it thinks I should know about) but is *not* constantly listening for incoming mail.
Is there a best way of doing this ?
comment out the line in inetd.conf and remove any S20exim links in /etc/rc?.d. Removing the S links is the proper way to keep a service from running in debian; the link removal is preserved across upgrades.
