It's one of the mechanisms used for "you've got mail" notifications. IIRC there's a "biff" option you can set to stop Postfix trying to do this kind of notification, but I could be wrong. > Lastly, is there anything else that can/should be done to secure Postfix > on a dialup system ?

Postfix is pretty secure by default. You could always firewall out any incoming connections on port 25, but if you don't want to worry about firewalling I wouldn't worry too much. -- Mark Brown mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Trying to avoid grumpiness) http://www.tardis.ed.ac.uk/~broonie/ EUFS http://www.eusa.ed.ac.uk/societies/filmsoc/
