understand why we would want to block port 783 since spamd uses port 783
for scanning e-mails.

port 783 is blocked.

This is exactly what I mean, I don't know the reason why Nick Hemmesch
wrote with the release of the new SA toaster package, that this port
should be blocked.

And so, I don't know now if I should block the port or not :-)

Here again the part of Nick's mail:
