Hi, Denis.

I worked with a guy from Sherbrooke once.  Nice person (all Canadians are, in 
my estimation).  Sorry for the aside, all.

Here's the output of :

tcp        0      0 *:smtps                     *:*                         
LISTEN      1753/stunnel
tcp        0      0 *:smtp                      *:*                         
LISTEN      17087/sendmail: acc

Looks like the last line was concatenated, but still gives the general 
picture.
