Muraii Member Registered: May 2006 Posts: 65 Rep:	Several Open Ports for getmail Hi, I've been running getmail happily for the past few weeks, but I've just noticed this morning that it keeps open quite a few (~20) outbound ports, many redundant, e.g. four for the same port at the same destination IP. Is this normal, and, if not, how should I approach fixing it? If I've left out any information useful for figuring this out, please do let me know and I'll post it here. Thank you, Daniel
