Processes comminicating with "outside" sites

["Jeffrey B. Green" <jeff@kikisoso.org>]

Hi,

I believe I've asked this question before and don't remember a response 
for it. Basically, I'll have a server that exhibits communication with 
some outside site, and I've not explicitly set up such a communication. 
I assume that that are many standard communications going on for some 
reason or another that the developer has set up in the code for the 
process. Maybe not. The particular instance that's triggered this 
inquiry is a communication with a server at your.org.

So I'm wondering, is there a list that itemizes all outside 
communications and associates them with the relevant package/file? And 
if not, isn't that a good idea in this day and age of "sneaky code" that 
can slip onto a system.
