well, min_d_field.dk resolves, but is firewalled. But my point wasn't |
| 20 |
this, I didn't even take into account that postfix is pretty much |
| 21 |
secure in this regard (e.g. no strange config directives). It was meant |
| 22 |
more generally, something that's always to be considered when _testing_ |
| 23 |
something: Not only make sure that it works, also make sure that you |
| 24 |
don't impose foreseeable risks. Since I made a general (i.e. |
| 25 |
daemon-independent) proposal for testing whether SMTP works, I thought |
| 26 |
this might be a needed addition. |
