I couldn't see any smail entry in /etc/inetd,conf. The only thing
that seemed vaguely close to what I wanted was an NNTP entry (the
comment header above it said "mail", and it had, I think, tcpd and
leafnode in the line).
How can I tell whether commenting that out has stopped my email from
being downloaded?
Of course, the next thing I want to do is set up news without email.
Oh, this is going to be a fun weekend! :-)
