sudo /bin/netstat -lnp | grep 25
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 15285/exim4
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2525 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 15285/exim4

now i check this whit der debian server what not working, an see this:
/bin/netstat -lnp | grep 25
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 873/exim4
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2525 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 873/exim4
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 19925 1669/systemd /run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 873/exim4
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:2525 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 873/exim4
unix 2 [ ACC ] STREAM LISTENING 19925 1669/systemd /run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent
you see that? not dovecot listed whit acc but systemd?. what you think about this issue? Dovecot is running at boot debians server.
any sugest?
