I recently got my linux box online. I ran an nmap scan against myself and found only my ssh server port 111 sun rpc open. And then from my other windows box i ran GFI LANguard security scanner against the linux box to scan for vulnerabilities. But the funny thing is that it finds a mail server open ?? And I am 100 % sure that i didn't install a mail server on the box.. And the mail server ends in an extension of logs.proxy220.aol.com , when my linux box has absolutely nothing to do with aol whatsoever. I am a little confused on what is going on here , I mean it sais i am running sendmail when I am sure that it is not running.
I did ps -ax | grep sendmail and i still find nothing. No mail server ports open no nothing. Think someone might be able to help me out on what is going on here ? thanx..
