I think some programs use port 25 for outgoing mail, too (netscape?
pine? mh?). I seem to remember ages ago, when I first installed qmail,
there were suggestions for how to make pine and mh use sendmail rather
then port 25. This was years ago now, the situation might be different
now. I have purged pine, so can't check.
