something's blocking smtp

running on Gentoo.

Ok, I'm installing qmail and I can't figure out what's blocking smtp. I've got qmail stopped and 'netstat -a' gives me this:

Code:

# netstat -a

Something's running on pop3 and smtp when there shouldn't be anything. Yeah, I've made sure qmail is stopped. I don't even have the pop3 bit set up yet anyway.

I've gotten rid of sendmail altogether.

Anyone have any clues as to how I could figure this out? This is kinda ridiculus, as I've never had another MTA other than sendmail and qmail. sendmail is gone and qmail isn't running. O.o

I can print out 'ps -e' if you want, but it doesn't really help. Nothing that I have running should have anything to do with smtp or pop3. :/

If you run:
netstat -nlp

It should show the pid for each service in the last column, if you then grep for this in a ps output it should show you which process is using the port.

Ah, thank you. I knew there had to be some way to easily check that.

Unfortunetly, this makes things more complicated, as it's saying qmail is running when it shouldn't be. -_-'

Thanks, though!

Heh. I just killed all my tcpserver processes and restarted everything. Waddaya know, it worked. ^_^
